Human-readable intervals

Human-readable intervals

Constants for expressing human-readable intervals in new #WordPress are very useful:

define( 'MINUTE_IN_SECONDS', 60 );
define( 'HOUR_IN_SECONDS',   60 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS );
define( 'DAY_IN_SECONDS',    24 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS   );
define( 'WEEK_IN_SECONDS',    7 * DAY_IN_SECONDS    );
define( 'YEAR_IN_SECONDS',  365 * DAY_IN_SECONDS    );

Example:

wp_cache_add($key, $data, 'default, 5 * DAY_IN_SECONDS);
