MySQL uses YYYYMMDDHHMMSS and PHP uses a unix timestamp, the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970. You can use UNIXTIMESTAMP(your_column) in your query to get a PHP style unix timestamp. Although, if you explain what you are trying to do a little better, you could probably do the comparisons a lot easier in your query and not involve PHP at all. SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column > your_column + INTERVAL 10 MINUTE AND your_column != 0 That looks equivilent to what you're trying to do in PHP. You might have to say your_column+0 != 0 to get your_column as an integer and not a string. ---John Holmes...
