I have wrote a script that manages the downtime reports for our major systems. I want to be able to add the time.

currently when I add

01:45:00 and 00:40:00

I get 01:85:00

How to I go about adding the time so that it takes in to account 60 minutes/seconds per hour?

Ummm...you will probably multiply the minutes by 60 and hours by 360 and add it and divide it all by 360...just use some math

Hi there,

It sounded interesting, so I wrote up something for you.

PHP Code:

<?php



function add_time($t1, $t2) {

    // This doesn't have to be explode(), as long as you can explode $t2 into pieces (like substr()'s).

    $t2 = explode(':', $t2);

    // hh:mm:ss date format. strtotime() will add $t2 components to $t1.

    return date('H:i:s', strtotime($t1.' + '.$t2[0].' hours '.$t2[1].' minutes '.$t2[2].' seconds'));

}



// Test vars.

$t1 = '01:45:00';

$t2 = '00:40:00';



// Returns "02:25:00"

echo add_time($t1, $t2);



?>

It worked for me.

Typo and miscomment. Excuse me.
