Can someone help with my php file dealing with email????

Hello to everyone who is reading this and thank you for taking your time to do so.

Okay my file is this.

<?php
$file=&quot;test.jpg&quot;;
clearstatcache();
$time=filemtime($file);
$CurTime=time();
$dif=$CurTime - $time;
if ($dif > 225)
{
mail(&quot;Webmaster <webmaster@matsukidesignsolutions.com>&quot;,&quot;The webcam is frozen&quot;,&quot;&quot;
}
echo&quot;document.write()&quot;;
?>

This tells my server to email me if my webcam freezes. If it refreshes 5 times at 45 seconds each(the 225) without changing the picture (test.jpg) then it emails me and tells me.

It works but the problem is that it emails me too early. I have no idea why. I messed with the time (225) and the symbols Greater than or less than. Nothing works.

Can someone help? I would greatly appreciate it.
