How to Subtract Minutes

Question

I want to send a reminder email.I don\'t want to use cron on Linux/Unix/BSD box or Scheduled Tasks on Windows.

I\'m trying to subtract 15 minutes from t

Answer 1

To subtract 15 minutes you can do:

date('Y-m-d H:i:s', (time() - 60 * 15));

You can replace 15 with the number of minutes you want.

In case you're looking to subtract seconds you can simply do:

date('Y-m-d H:i:s', (time() - 10));

In this way you'll subtract 10 seconds.
