Working with time

[zero_ZX]

Hi,

I'm limiting a specific action to only be possible each 12 hour.

To do that I use the current time:

$time = strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));

and the last time the action was done is stored just like it (but from a db).

Now I'm about to compare them, but I'm curious on how to make the last_vote variable 12 hours larger. I tried with 43200 which is 12 hours in seconds, but that appeared to be very incorrect.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

if $last_vote is the datetime value from your database,

 

if (time() > strtotime("+12 hours $last_vote") ) 
    echo 'OK';
else
    echo 'Not yet';

Thanks a lot
