The 0 value comes from:

$snooze_until = $row['snooze_until'];

if($snooze_until > time())
{
// do something (which doesn't work)
}

// Debugging output

echo "$snooze_until is snooze till time.\n";
print_r($row);

Is there something subtly incorrect in there that I'm missing?

Echoing the row's column directly yields the correct result, *as a
string*. However, I'm doing a numeric comparison on it, which appears
to be failing somehow or another; it appears that PHP is changing the
value to 0 when it performs its implicit conversion. So, what I'm
wondering again -- is this a quirk with a workaround, am I doing
something subtly or blatantly wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Mike
