      3 => etc

how can we return arrays that have date less then one hour ? or filter it? maybe something like do a search then returns all the array that have strtotime(created_at) < strtotime(“+1 Hours”)

*edit

like How can I use the Twitter Search API to return all tweets that match my search query, posted only within the last five seconds?
but there is no answer doing this.

thanks for looking in

Answer 1

So, you’re looking to return only those that have created_at within the past hour? I like to use array_filter() when I can.

function filterWithinHour($obj)
{
    return (strtotime($obj->created_at) > strtotime('-1 hour'));
}

$recent = array_filter($results, 'filterWithinHour');

If you ever need need to pass it a certain time (instead of assuming now), you might want to just loop through the array manually rather than mess with trying to pass a time parameter to the callback with a global variable. I hate globals used like that.
