Question

I’m running this piece of code:

$sql = "SELECT IF(TIMEDIFF(NOW(),last_update) > '02:00:00',1,0) AS morethan FROM products LIMIT 1";

    if($stmt = $this->connect->prepare($sql)) {
        $stmt->execute();
        $stmt->bind_result($result);
        $stmt->fetch();
        $stmt->close();
    } else {
        return false;
    }

    return $result;

I get 0, that means that the difference I’m checking for it wasn’t found ?

Answer 1

Mysql IF works like this:

IF(condition, true, false)

That you revceive 0 in the result “morethan ” it means that

TIMEDIFF(NOW(),last_update) > '02:00:00'

is false, in other words the timediff is smaller than 02:00:00
