Time Only Conversion

[phpretard]

I need to compare current time to data based time.

 

Time in the database is in this format > 00:00:00

Easy enough. 

 

>>>>What I need is to convert "00:00:00" format into "time();" format<<<<

 

The opposite is below...it's all I could come up with so far.

 

<?
$gettime = time();
$displayTime = date('H:i:s', time());
echo $displayTime;
?>

 

Thank you.

time() format is a timestamp in seconds so you can build a timestamp that is the specified time for today and compare those:

 

$databaseTime = strtotime('06:30:00');  // or whatever, just use strtotime() on it
$displayTime = time();

if($databaseTime > $displayTime) {
   echo 'db time is greater';
elseif($databaseTime < $displayTime) {
   echo 'current time is greater';
} else {
   echo 'the times are equal';
}
