Question

i have the flowing code

$LastModified = filemtime($somefile) ;

i want to add ten minute to last modified time and compare with current time then if $LastModified+ 10 minute is equal to current time delete the file . how can i do that ?! i’m little confusing with unix time stamp .

Answer 1

Since the UNIX timestamp is expressed in “seconds since 1970”, you just add five minutes in seconds:

$LastModPlusFiveMinutes = $lastModified + (60 * 5);

Or, maybe more readable:

$LastModPlusFiveMinutes = strtotime("+5 minutes", $lastModified);
