Convert Filemtime to seconds

[s_shrum]

Now that I made my ElapsedSecondstoString function, it seems that the value I'm getting back from filemtime is not seconds based (is this right?)

According to the docs, it is a Unix timestamp (I'm not familiar with this).

Is there a way to convert the value that is returned from Filemtime so that it is in seconds so I can do:

$iFiletime - time()

...to get back the number of elapsed seconds?

TIA

a unix timestamp is the number of seconds since the unix epoch on January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT, which is the same thing that time() returns. so i think you've already got what you want.
