$today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $time); http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

It is not a good idea to name variables with the names of functions like $time=time();

Dave makes an excellent point about variable naming. For a timestamp of the current time, I typically use $now. Ideally the variable you use should provide information about the purpose of the variable. $lastVisitTime, $accountCreated, $lastPurchaseTime, $bookDueDate.

Seconds ARE timestamps!

Something in format 2011-10-04 22:41:15 is not a timestamp. It is an ISO-8601 DATETIME string. Please take a moment to read over this article. I think you will find it helpful.
