Adding time in PHP

Question

I am pulling a datetime from a mysql db and i would like to add X hours to it then compare it to the current time. So far i got

$dateNow = strtotime(date(\'Y         


        

Answer 1

time() and strtotime() result in unix timestamps in seconds, so you can do something like the following, provided your db and do your comparison:

$fourHours = 60 * 60 * 4;
$futureTime = time() + $fourHours;
