How can I add a given number of time in PHP?
Below is are three time variables I would like to add:
time1: "00:02:00"
time2: "00:15:00"
time3: "00:08:00"
This was my approach in attempting to achieve that:
echo date('h:i:s', strtotime('00:02:00') + strtotime('00:15:00') + strtotime('00:08:00'));
The result of my code is 12:25:00, while the expected result should have been 00:25:00.
What am I doing wrong and how can I add given time variables effectively in PHP?
Change from h into H.
h => 12-hour format of an hour with leading zeros
H => 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros
Try
echo date('H:i:s', strtotime('00:02:00') + strtotime('00:15:00') + strtotime('00:08:00'));
I've had several issues handling time in php.
The best way I've ever found it was this (and that way even if your calculation goes through 24 hours will not generate problems).
<?php
function time_to_sec($time) {
list($h, $m, $s) = explode (":", $time);
$seconds = 0;
$seconds += (intval($h) * 3600);
$seconds += (intval($m) * 60);
$seconds += (intval($s));
return $seconds;
}
function sec_to_time($sec) {
return sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', floor($sec / 3600), floor($sec / 60 % 60), floor($sec % 60));
}
$time1 = time_to_sec("00:02:00");
$time2 = time_to_sec("00:15:00");
$time3 = time_to_sec("00:08:00");
$total = $time1 + $time2 + $time3;
var_dump(sec_to_time($total));
?>
I hope I have helped.
You can use like this way. it will work.
$arr = [
'00:02:00',
'00:15:00',
'00:08:00'
];
$hour =0;$min=0;$sec=0;
foreach($arr as $a){
$time = explode(':',$a);
$sec +=$time[2];
$min +=$time[1];
$hour += $time[0];
}
echo sprintf('%02d',$hour).':'.sprintf('%02d',$min).':'.sprintf('%02d',$sec);
Thanks,
Try this one.This should do what you are looking for:
<?php
/**
* @param array $times
* @return string
*/
function sumOfDiffrentTime($times = array())
{
$minutes = '';
$seconds = '';
// loop through all the times array
foreach ($times as $time) {
list($hour, $minute, $second) = explode(':', $time);
$minutes += $hour * 60;
$minutes += $minute;
$seconds += (intval($second));
}
$hours = floor($minutes / 60);
$minutes -= $hours * 60;
// returns the formatted time
return sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', $hours, $minutes, $seconds);
}
$times = array();
$times[] = "00:02:00";
$times[] = "00:15:00";
$times[] = "00:08:00";
// pass your $times array to the function
echo sumOfDiffrentTime($times);
