You can use a function with your array and the $user you want to count as parameter, and then loop into the array and sum +1 for each interaction that matches your prerequisites.
Assuming your parent array is named $users, you can do the following:
function countConsecutive($users, $username)
{
$total = 0;
foreach($users as $user) {
if($user['user'] === $username && $user['time'] >= date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-10 minutes'))) {
$total++;
}
}
return $total;
}
The return of the function will be the count of consecutive date-time from the user in the last 10 minutes.
