Sum of Duration from Database Field (Duration) - php

Question

I am having issue in SUM of Time or Duration from my Database field.
Suppose. I have 5 Records
1. 00:25:32
2. 00:08:52
3. 00:33:22
4. 00:25:30
5. 00:15:12
how to sum all the times with php.
I spent a lot time on it but failed.
I have tried this.
$time = "00:58:30";
$time2 = "00:12:35";
$secs = strtotime($time2)-strtotime("00:00:00");
$result = date("H:i:s",strtotime($time)+$secs);
echo $result;
But it not works good for multiple records

Answer 1

Thanks to all of you. I have fixed it. I checked some other question on Stackoverflow and i got answer what i wanted.
SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(SUM(TIME_TO_SEC(`SongDuration`))) AS `TimeSum` FROM `mu_forms_competition_entries`

Durations are not dates. What would tomorrow at 35:00:00 mean?
The closest builtin feature is DateInterval, but in order to use it as-is your input data needs some rewriting ('00:25:32' into 'PT00H25M32S') and I don't think it supports addition anyway.
It isn't difficult to make the calculations yourself (error checking omitted and negative times not considered for brevity):
function timeToSeconds(string $time): int
{
[$h, $m, $s] = explode(':', $time);
return $s + 60 * $m + 3600 * $h;
}
function secondsToTime(int $seconds): string
{
return sprintf(
"%02d:%02d:%02d",
floor($seconds / 3600),
floor(($seconds / 60) % 60),
$seconds % 60
);
}
$times = [
'00:25:32',
'00:08:52',
'00:33:22',
'00:25:30',
'00:15:12',
];
$total = 0;
foreach ($times as $time) {
$total += timeToSeconds($time);
}
echo secondsToTime($total);
If you're allowed to change the database query there's probably a builtin function to convert to seconds right from SQL. For instance, MySQL has TIME_TO_SEC().
Last but not least, if your database actually has a Time column type, perhaps it allows to SUM() it.
