Classic ASP Check if 1 minute has passed if so trigger command - asp-classic

Question

I am trying to check the current time VS the database time and display a message.
This is my second attempt but it's not working correctly, as you can see below, I am doing something wrong. Please help.
Thanks.

Function ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(input_datetime) 'As String
Dim d : d = CDate(input_datetime)
ConvertToUnixTimeStamp = CStr(DateDiff("s", "01/01/2018 00:00:00", d))
End Function
'Response.write ("<BR><BR>Current Time Now: ") & ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(Now)
time_from_db = 11293015 + 60 'This would be the time from the database. It is generated using ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(Now) + 60
Response.write "Current Time: " & ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(Now) & "<BR><BR>"
Response.write "Time from DB: " & time_from_db & "<BR><BR>"
Response.write "<BR><BR>"
Response.write "Update DB with this time (Added 1 minute): " & ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(Now) + 60 & "<BR><BR>"
If ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(Now) > time_from_db then
Response.write("<BR>Current Time is Greaten then DB")
else
Response.write("<BR>DB Time is Newer then Current Time")
end if

Answer 1

If ConvertToUnixTimeStamp(Now) > time_from_db then
this will never return true, as your function is converting the time to a STRING, and a string cannot be greater than another string.
I made some minor changes in your code, mainly explicitly converting variables into their data type (ex: CInt, CStr, etc).
