Answer 1

timestamp is a reserved keyword in mysql. To use timestamp as a field name, you have to put that in backticks as shown below.

`timestamp`

If time_created is a unix timestamp (int), you should be able to use something like this:

DELETE FROM adminLoginLog WHERE `timestamp` < (UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 600);

(600 seconds = 10 minutes - obviously)

Otherwise (if time_created is mysql timestamp), you could try this:

DELETE FROM adminLoginLog WHERE `timestamp` < (NOW() - INTERVAL 10 MINUTE)

Update 1

DELETE FROM adminLoginLog WHERE `timestamp` < DATE_SUB( CURRENT_TIME(), INTERVAL 10 MINUTE)

Update 2

DELETE FROM adminLoginLog WHERE `timestamp` < DATE_SUB( NOW(), INTERVAL 10 MINUTE)
