Timestamp comparison to delete when mysql timestamp > 20 minutes

I want to do something which is not complicated but I do not manage to succeed even after I tried a lot of things....

First of all, I have a database mysql with a row of timestamp type. I insert into it elements with a date like this:

$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time());
$req =mysql_query("INSERT INTO my_table (id, departement, voie, date,message)
    VALUES ('', '$departement_token', '$voie_token','$date' , '$message_token')");

The result of this code line is a date element like this : 2012-07-19 20:18:17

I want to delete all elements with a date > current date + 20 minutes and I do not succeed...

I tried this:

mysql_query("DELETE FROM my_table WHERE  DATE_SUB(date,INTERVAL 20 MINUTE) ORDER BY date");

And this:

$req=mysql_query("DELETE FROM my_table WHERE date >= TIMESTAMPADD(MINUTE,-20,NOW())
                  ORDER BY date");

And this:

$timePlus20min = time() + 1200;
//et on compare les deux dates
$req = mysql_query(
    "DELETE FROM my_table WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date) >= '$timePlus20min' ORDER BY date");

But none of this works. Could you help me please, I think it's not too difficult but I'm out of ideas...

$period=date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time()-(60*60*6)); // 6 hour before

"SELECT * FROM limitlessisa WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(REG) > UNIX_TIMESTAMP('$period')";

REG // timestamp row name

This is working. 6 hours before listing data

In all your queries you forgot the WHERE keyword so they are syntactically wrong. Also, the ORDER BY statement has no effect as you are not executing a SELECT query. There is no result that could be ordered. Instead, a single table DELETE query returns a count of the number of deleted rows.

DELETE FROM my_table WHERE date >= DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 20 MINUTE);

As I do not know your table structure, I tried this query with the following table:

CREATE TABLE `datetest` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `date` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

Try this:

DELETE FROM my_table WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date) > 60 * 60 * 20 + UNIX_TIMESTAMP();

try this :

$req=mysql_query("DELETE FROM my_table WHERE date <= ".date("Y-m-d H:i:s", mktime(date("H"), date("i")-20, date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")));

Bonne chance à toi / Good luck
