Hello!

What's up?

 

How can i know if 30 minutes has been passed since a specific date and time (like 2008-02-06 14:33:11)?

 

Many thanks!

Convert the time/date into a unix timestamp using mktime(), then use this code:

 

if(time() > (earlierTime + (60*30)))
{
    echo "More than 30 minutes has passed";
}
else
{
    echo "thirty minutes hasn't yet passed";
}

 

Where 'earlierTime' is the time you created using mktime().

 

note: time() will give you the unix timestamp for the current time.

Great! Thanks!

And how can I know how many minutes have been passed?

(time() - earliertime) / 60. might need to round it as well.
