Barand Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 strtotime() will convert the db datetime to unix time (seconds) time() will give current unix time. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/263934-time-in-php/#findComment-1352599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpd Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 $timeMinus1Hour = gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("-1 hour", strtotime($time))); Where $time is the date/time timestamp from the database. Bare in mind time-zones; I did that using Greenwich Mean Time. A simple comparison of the two timestamps will give you your answer.
