I've searched quite a bit and found a few solutions that didn't end up working for me and can't understand why.

I have a table with a timestamp column. The MySQL type for this column is 'datetime'. I insert into this table the following from PHP.

date('Y-m-d H:i:s')

This enters, what looks like the correct value for the MySQL date time.

2012-06-28 15:31:46

I want to use this column to delete rows that are older than say 10 minutes. I'm running the following query, but it's not working. It affects 0 rows.

DELETE FROM adminLoginLog WHERE timestamp < (NOW() - INTERVAL 10 MINUTE);

Can anyone shed some light as to what I'm doing wrong and why it's not working properly?

Thanks.

Update: It looks like my first issue is that I'm using DATETIME when I should be using the TIMESTAMP data type. I'm updating my code to do that now. Thanks.
