I want sum of 3 different times.
Ex:
h1 = "04:23";
h2 = "04:16";
h3 = "00:00";
So answer should be $hours = "08:39"
I have searched for that and got many solution but not getting right answer.
Here is my code:
$hours = strtotime($h1) + strtotime($h2) + strtotime($h3);
$total_hours = date("H:i", intval($hours));
echo $total_hours;
"00:00" is the answer which am getting for above code. I don't want to use any user define function which can add times. Can anyone please help me?
You want total time and hours so no need to work on strtotime or date() method. There isn't any inbuilt method for this solution. I always use this solution.
Working Demo for your solution : https://eval.in/98249
function sum_time() {
$i = 0;
foreach (func_get_args() as $time) {
sscanf($time, '%d:%d', $hour, $min);
$i += $hour * 60 + $min;
}
if ($h = floor($i / 60)) {
$i %= 60;
}
return sprintf('%02d:%02d', $h, $i);
}
echo sum_time('04:23', '04:16', '00:00');
If you don't want to use user-defined logic, your only option is to use built-in function which is strtotime as per my opinion. But you need to provide right format to strtotime function which is like 00:04:16. I've provided my logic to give you the solution.
$h1 = "04:23";
$h2 = "04:16";
$h3 = "00:00";
$h_arr = array($h1, $h2, $h3);
function sum_time($h_arr) {
$hours = 0;
$minutes = 0;
foreach($h_arr as $value) {
$value_explode = explode(':', $value);
$hours += $value_explode[0];
$minutes += $value_explode[1];
if($minutes > 60) {
$hours += 1;
$minutes = $minutes % 60;
}
}
return sprintf('%02d:%02d', $hours, $minutes);
}
echo sum_time($h_arr);
The logic provided by Bhavin is also good. If you're comfortable with it, you could go for that. It's up to you.

Bhavin and Perumal93 answer working fine. But i am thinking different way.I am trying to do this as simple as possible. Code look like below:
<?php
/**
* @param array $times
* @return string
*/
function sumOfDiffrentTime($times = array())
{
$minutes = '';
// loop through all the times array
foreach ($times as $time) {
list($hour, $minute) = explode(':', $time);
$minutes += $hour * 60;
$minutes += $minute;
}
$hours = floor($minutes / 60);
$minutes -= $hours * 60;
// returns the formatted time
return sprintf('%02d:%02d', $hours, $minutes);
}
$times = array();
$times[] = "04:23";
$times[] = "04:16";
$times[] = "00:00";
// pass your $times array to the function
echo sumOfDiffrentTime($times);
Hope it will helps you.
