Question

Im using timestamps with my sql database.
I currently am making a voting system, can anyone make a if statement where if $stamp is older than two days it will run some code? i have been trying for hours and can’t seem to get it to work. Thanks!

You don’t need PHP to do this for you, let the database do the work as it’s usually more efficient:

SELECT * FROM votes WHERE vote_timestamp <= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 2 DAY);

I believe this also work with UNIX_TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP, DATETIME and DATE columns as MySQL will perform the conversion automatically and apply it to the result set.
