It's in seconds according to the docs: http://www.php.net/time
Returns the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT)
Question
firstly let me say sorry for the rather 'simple' question. I have been doing a lot of search and I can't find any satisfactory answer.
Assuming I have two timestamps like this
$current_time = time();
$old_time = 1393955449;
then I do something like this
$diff_time = $current_time - $old_time;
it gives me something like say 500
My question now is, this 500
given as the result is it milliseconds or seconds or minutes.
Sorry again if this is too basic for all those 'PHP Gurus'
