SirChick Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Is there a way with the Now date to do something like: From the timestamp of "when this event happens"... dont allow this until X amount of minutes have passed from "when that event happened earlier" if you get me. So basically the users go to a "jail" and in jail they cant leave till their time is up... but im not good at cron's so trying to find a different method of working out when a time has passed...

Barand Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Suppose you are sent to jail on 20th Sept for 28 days <?php $inJail = mktime (0,0,0,9,20,2007) $release = strtotime ('+28 days', $inJail); /** * am I free? */ if (time() >= $release) { echo "Free"; } else { echo "Not yet"; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71298-now-date-comparison-for-x-amount-of-time/#findComment-358707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
