comparing day and time

hello friends
i want that if the user tries to login with incorrect password more
than 3 times, then he should not be allowed to login for 24 hours.
i m trying to save the current day and time and then comparing the
same when the user logs in.
My problem is how to compare current date and time.
Is there some alternate way to do the same?

24h = 86400s

...
$current = mktime();
$previous = /* something that you saved on incorrect attempts */
$diff = $current - $previous;
if ( $diff < 86400) {
/* Go to jail, do not pass "GO", do not collect $200 */
}
else {
// ...
}
