Remove cancellation button if within 24 hours of appointment booked!

[rebecca09]

Hi,

Currently making a booking system in PHP. Currently have a list of appointments booked by the user with a 'cancel' button next to each if they wish to cancel their appointment.

 

However i would like this button to be automatically removed when the current date is within 24 hours of the appointment date so that they do not have the option to use the cancellation link within a certain time.

 

Can anyone help with this please? I am getting pretty desperate and am not very good at PHP to know how to do it! Thanks

pseudo code...

 

$appointment_time_stamp (this is the appoinment)
$current_time_stamp (this is when the page is being viewed)
$time_to_go = $appointment_time_stamp - $current_time_stamp
if $time_to_go is greater than 86400 (this is 24 * 60 * 40)
  show the cancel button
else
  do not show

Make sense?
