PHP timestamp comparison with java.util.Date.getTime() timestamp

[Phil Powell]

I am forced to have to compare the value of some PHP timestamp with a
Java-based java.util.Date. getTime() timestamp. Let me show you how
they look:

PHP time (using microtime()): 0.79479900 1079196997

Java time: 1079165215886

The Java time is returned to the PHP class method as mixed but could
be converted to float I would think, but how would I ensure that they
would be compared correctly when I do this:

[PHP]
if (time() - $lastMsgTime >= 86400) { // DO STUFF }
[/PHP]

Thanx
Phil

I don't know Java, much less how to integrate it with PHP so I'm just
assuming you get a string variable available in PHP with the Java time:

<?php
$java_time = '1079165215886' ;
$php_time = '0.79479900 1079196997';

$java_time /= 1000;

$php_time = explode(' ', $php_time);
$php_time = $php_time[1];
## it's a pity you can't do
# $php_time = (explode(' ', $php_time))[1];

/*[color=blue]
> [PHP]
> if (time() - $lastMsgTime >= 86400) { // DO STUFF }
> [/PHP][/color]
*/

if ($php_time - $java_time >= 86400) { /* DO STUFF */ }
?>
