Adiing time (10:56:45+01:12:52)

how to add time ,the format of the time is
(00:45:55+01:22 :01)

Not sure what you're asking exactly but you can use:

[code=php]
$time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time());
echo $time;
[/code]

This will display somthing like 2007-08-20 09:27:05

Edit:

Or are you asking how to add time together, as in 2:00 + 5:00 = 7:00, except in the format you posted? (I think this is what you're asking)

I'm not sure how to do this, but at a guess maybe you could explode the time at the colon, then adding them together normally using PHP (just like using 2 + 3) Then display it using somthing like:

$hours : $minutes : $seconds

But my knowledge of PHP is very limited and I assume there is a much easier way of doing this.

ok thanks.After exploding the time format ,how i will get the desire result?

[Jeigh]

I'd do somthing like the following:

[code=php]
$time = explode(":", *time string here*);

$hours = $time[0];
$minutes = $time[1];
$seconds = $time[2];

$time2 = explode(":", * second time string here*);

$hours2 = $time2[0];
$minutes2 = $time2[1];
$seconds2 = $time2[2];

$new_hours = $hours + $hours2;
$new_minutes = $minutes + $minutes2;
$new_seconds = $seconds + $seconds2;

echo "$new_hours:$ne w_minutes:$new_ seconds";
[/code]

As far as I can see that would work but I think I may have made a simple problem 10x harder than it needed to be, I tend to overcomplicate things sometimes, but I don't know what the correct way to do it would be :P

Hi,

can I suggest you take a read of the time() function in the php manual.

This function returns a timestamp based on the Unix epoch - simply the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00. You can increment and decrement this by adding and subtracting the number of seconds to achieve you desired date and time.

so if now is 10:56:45, you would add and then format the output using the date()

[PHP]$newtime = time() + (01*60*60)+(12* 60)+52;
echo date("F j, Y, g:i a",$newtime) ; [/PHP]

as an aside, you could also do it using mktime() function

instead of splitting the string, you could also use strtotime (or strftime) add the two unixtime values together and encode it again with date()

personally i keep everything in unixtime until i have to echo it to the user.... makes it a lot easier to work with :)
