So under the time() call, comparing it to a simple numerical value such as
"300" it knows that you are talking about 300 seconds? Is that because it
is a unix timestamp? I previously tried using date("s") to give me the
seconds from today's date then tried the compare, so using time() will work
better. Thanks a ton.
