What does this piece of code exactly mean?

Hi,

if ((time() - $x_last_ping) > 60 * 60) { ...

Code (markup):

What does it mean? What's 60 * 60?

 

60 seconds x 60 minutes = 1 hour.

The code says if the current time (time()) minus the last ping time ($x_last_ping) is greater than one hour, then execute the following....

 

it is 3600 s
so its waiting for that much time to again ping

Regards

Alex

 

isn't it 60ms times 60ms?

EDIT: oh yeah there's someone who type faster than me

 

How do I set it to 15 minutes, instead of 1 hour? 60*15 ?

 

yup, thats correct. You understand it right

 

Thanks everyone. Rep added.

How about this:

		$Now = time();
                $Duration = 60*60;
		
		foreach ($posts as $post) {
			if ($x_news_active && $x_permission != 2) {
				$postDate = strtotime($post->post_date);
				if ($Now - $postDate < $Duration) {
					$x_execute_this .= "
...

Code (markup):

 

it says
for each element of posts, that we call a post, do the following;
if the news is active and the permission flag is not equal to 2, do the following;
if the current time minus post time is < than an hour, do the following;
