maybe this will help... not sure

$timefromdatabase = 1489834968;

$dif = time() - $timefromdatabase;

if($dif > 86400)
{
echo 'more than 24 hours';
}else{
 echo 'less than 24 hours';
}

I think we need to use the unix date to work out the 24hrs

Yes, that would be the best route.

but i still need to load the page to get the updated time right? i have the date coming from the json, but the php is loaded on page load.... so do i need to save the page load date/time in unix in a metasetting?
