Working with dates and times

[ShopMAster]

Hey guys,

 

  When working with dates and times how do I do an if statement like the following:

 

 

If ($registration_date == NOW() - 1 hour)

  echo 'yea'

 

 

The registration field is formated like 2007-08-17 16:58:32

 

Thanks.

I think you have to convert time to unix time then subtract 360 seconds, then clause

 

If($reg_date >= $now-360){echo 'YUP'}

how do you convert the time to a unix time?

[kenrbnsn]

Use the strtotime() function to convert an arbitrary date/time string to a UNIX timestamp. Use the time() function to get the UNIX timestamp of the current date/time.

 

BTW, there are 3600 seconds in an hour.

 

You can get "now - 1 hour" a few different ways:

<?php
$now = time();
$lasthour = $now - 3600;
// or
$lasthour1 = strtotime("-1 hour");
// or
$lasthour2 = time() - 3600;
?>
