Working with date

[apw]

Im trying to write a very simple code that uses date("U") such as  $thetime=date("U");  $timelimit=$thetime-3600*; which throws out 1265005026 but how do i change this to a hour/minute/second?  Thanks

You can you date function with hour/minute/second as first parameter and the timestamp value as second parameter

[Jezza]

instead of using date("U") you can simply use time();

now, date has an optional second parameter, when you put in a timestamp it will use that instead of the current time, for example:

$thetime=time();
$timelimit=$thetime-3600;
$whatyouwant=date("h:i:s A",$timelimit);

 

And that should tell you the time an hour ago hehe.

 

see http://php.net/date for more info on the parameters and whatnot.
