MySQL and PHP timestamps are in different formats. 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.
