Question

echo ($timestamp) gives "2012-05-03 15:35:46"

What would a PHP command look like that does:"if $timestamp is older than 12 weeks then…"

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

This is the fastest way of doing it in PHP in term of micro optimisation.

if(strtotime($timestamp) <= time() - (60*60*24*7*12)){
    // 60 secs * 60 mins * 24 hours * 7 days * 12 weeks
}

Please go read about strtotime to know how to convert timestamp to unixtime. Also read about time function.
