I want to add up time in php but after hours of google'ing and trying out im still unable to find a solution.
my values are:
$newTotal = '00:45:00';
$oldTotal = '00:16:00';
I want to add those two up which make 01:01:00.
Can you give me an example i'm getting really desperate! :p
thanks in advance,
keep a start date for minimum error.
<?php
$origin = '00:00:00';
$newTotal = '00:45:00';
$oldTotal = '00:16:00';
$added = strtotime($newTotal) + (strtotime($oldTotal) - strtotime($origin));
echo date('H:i:s', $added );
output :
01:01:00
Note, if your time is more than 23:59:59 after adding, you will get wrong result.
If these values always look like that, you could break them down with a substr()
$hours1 = substr($newTotal, 0, 2);
etc. And then simply add up the seconds, do a divide and mod and bubble up to the hours, and voila!
$secondstotal = $seconds1+$seconds2;
$restseconds = $secondstotal % 60;
$minutesfromseconds = floor($restseconds / 60);
$minutestotal = $minutes1+$minutes2+$minutesfromseconds;
etc.
Use strtotime()
to turn them into Unix timestamps, then add them as integers:
$newTotal = '00:45:00';
$oldTotal = '00:16:00';
$total = strtotime($newTotal) + strtotime($oldTotal);
To format it as hh:mm:ss
again, use date()
:
echo date('H:i:s', $total);
This gives:
01:01:00
Another solution without time function:
function sumtotal($a,$b) {
$i = explode(':',$a);
$j = explode(':',$b); // 0hh:1mm:2ss
$k = array(0,0,0,0); // 0days:1hours:2minutes:3seconds
$k[3] = $i[2]+$j[2];
$k[2] = (int)($k[3]/60)+$i[1]+$j[1];
$k[1] = (int)($k[2]/60)+$i[0]+$j[0];
$k[0] = (int)($k[1]/24);
$k[3] %= 60;
$k[2] %= 60;
$k[1] %= 24;
if ($k[3]<10) $k[3] = '0'.$k[3];
if ($k[2]<10) $k[2] = '0'.$k[2];
if ($k[1]<10) $k[1] = '0'.$k[1];
return $k[0].' days : '.$k[1].' hours : '.$k[2].' minutes : '.$k[3].' seconds';
}
$newTotal = '01:45:21';
$oldTotal = '03:16:56';
echo sumtotal($newTotal,$oldTotal); // result: 0 days : 05 hours : 02 minutes : 17 seconds
