How to store times into variable using php?

Question

I am trying to store time into variable which type is string, following is script

$time = '00:00:00';
foreach($GameLog->gamelogs->toArray() as $Data){
    $base = strtotime('00:00:00');
    $seconds = (strtotime($time) - $base) + (strtotime($Data['pivot']['time_spent']) - $base);
}

$hours = floor($seconds / 3600);
$minutes = floor($seconds / 60) % 60;
$seconds = $seconds % 60;
$ResultArray['time']   =  sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', $hours, $minutes, $seconds);

where is $Data['pivot']['time_spent'] has different times like

00:05:30 00:03:25 00:12:39

By above loop method I am unable to store the time, because it is returning wrong result. how can i fix the issue?

what's actually wrong with it? Tested and it returns a microtime as expected? — treyBake

and try moving your code inside the foreach loop - all that will do is use the last iteration in the code outside the loop .. — treyBake

Try writing your times with '.' instead of ':' like :

$time = '00.00.00';

this is a mix of code-only and link-only - you should add relevant info from the link to keep it on SO for future users (that link may be dead in < 3 months for example)
