Quick question about time()

What would be the correct way to express five minutes prior to the current time?

time()-(00:05:00);? I know that's completely wrong. How do you express five mins in the UNIX timestamp format?

Unixtime is the number of seconds since midnight Jan 1, 1970 GMT. So, 5 minutes ago is:
time() - (5 * 60);

Does this seem right if 300 is 5 mins past the UNIX epoch?

$five_mins_ago = $currenttime - 300;
