i'm trying to find and calculate between startime
, finish time as: starttime + 1 hour
and current time. if current time is between start and finish i must be print message such as please try after 1 hour
:
$current_date_time = new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone("Asia/Tehran"));
$user_current_time = $current_date_time->format("H:i:s");
$start_limit_time = date("H:i:s",strtotime('2015-09-15 14:57:31'));
$finish_limit_time = date('H:i:s', strtotime($start_limit_time) + (60 * 60 * 1));
$date1 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $user_current_time);
$date2 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $start_limit_time);
$date3 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $finish_limit_time);
if ($date1 > $date2 && $date1 < $date3)
{
echo 'here';
}
this code is not correct and i can not fix that,
You can try this, it shows the difference in minutes:
$current_date_time = new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone("Asia/Tehran"));
$user_current_time = $current_date_time->format("H:i:s");
$start_limit_time = date("H:i:s",strtotime('2015-09-15 14:57:31'));
$finish_limit_time = date('H:i:s', strtotime($start_limit_time) + (60 * 60 * 1));
$date1 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $user_current_time);
$date2 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $start_limit_time);
$date3 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $finish_limit_time);
if ($date1 > $date2 && $date1 < $date3)
{
$tryAgainIn = $date3->diff( $date1 );
// just minutes
echo "try again in ".$tryAgainIn->format( "%i minutes" );
// or hours and minutes
$hours = $tryAgainIn->format('%h');
$minutes = $tryAgainIn->format('%i');
echo "try again in $hours hours and $minutes minutes";
}
For more information take a look at: DateTime::diff
At first you should avoid operating with strings format, as they should only be used IMHO to printing and retrieving data from outside. Use only timestamp or OOP methods.
I believe, that this is something you are looking for:
$startTime = new DateTime('2015-09-15 14:57:31');
$endTime = clone $startTime;
$endTime->modify('+1 hour');
if ($startTime->getTimestamp() <= time() && time() < $endTime->getTimestamp()) {
echo 'here';
}
I wonder why you need to use H:i:s format. Can you give some bigger picture?
Edit: Try this, as prior to now I did not fully understand what you want to do ;)
$origin = new DateTime('2015-09-15 14:57:31');
$startTime = new DateTime('today '.$origin->format('H:i:s'));
$endTime = clone $startTime;
$endTime->modify('+1 hour');
if ($startTime->getTimestamp() <= time() && time() < $endTime->getTimestamp()) {
echo 'here';
}
