PHP: time>time()

Question

I have:

$lastActivationDelay = time() + 8;
if($lastActivationDelay<$last_activation)

right now, not working properly.

What i want to do is if you try to enter the page, and
if $last_activation is under the $lastactivationdelay time, then echo false, else true.

So if eight seconds from now is over $last_activation, then true, if its under, then false.

Answer 1

Assuming $last_activation exists in the past, your comparison is backwards.

if ($lastActivationDelay > $last_activation) { echo 'too soon'; }

Answer 2

Are you trying to do:

if($last_activation+8 < time())
