If it already is a unix timestamp, then you can probably grab it out of the database like: SELECT ..... (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) - thread.thread_expiry) as test, etc.... and then:

PHP Code:

$threedays = 3 * 86400;

if ($thread['test'] < $threedays) {
$thread['thread_expiry'] = "less than three days";
} 


Not tested for syntax or to see if it works.
