how to check if time is more than 30minute? - php

Question

I have saved a time. I would like to check whether the saved time is 30 minutes greater than the current time. You can see in the code what I have done so far but it doesn't work.
I would need some help fixing that code.
$current = "08:05";
$to_check = date('h:i');
if($to_check > $current + strtotime('30 minute')){
echo "greater";
}
else {
echo "not greater";
}

Answer 1

First, your $current isn't the current time, $to_check is, so your variable names are misleading.
That being said, store your "08:05" as a Unix timestamp then see if the difference between the two is greater than 30 * 60.

Answer 2

$seconds = 1800; // 30 mins
$time1 = strtotime($db_time) + $seconds;
if(time() >= $time1)
echo "Time's up!"
else
echo "time has not expired";

Answer 3

This should work for you:
<?php
$current = date('H:i');
$to_check = date('H:i', strtotime('+30 minutes'));
$to_check = date('H:i', strtotime($record['date'])); //If value is from DB
if($to_check > $current){
echo "greater";
}
else {
echo "not greater";
}

Answer 4

Save time using time function this would give you time in seconds from 1970 so for example current time is 1501137539 and after 30 minutes it would be (1501137539 + 30*60) so you would just need to check if difference b/w current time and stored time is greater that 30*60 then half an hour is over.

Answer 5

Try this snippet:
function x_seconds($to_check = 'YYYY-mm-dd H:i:s') {
$to_check = strtotime($to_check);
$current = time() + 1800; //We add 1800 seconds because it equals to 30 minutes
return ($current>=$to_check) ? true : false;
}
Or go pro, and have a custom "seconds since", just because you can?
function x_seconds($to_check = 'YYYY-mm-dd H:i:s', $seconds = 1800) {
$to_check = strtotime($to_check);
$current = time() + $seconds; //We add x seconds
return ($current>=$to_check) ? true : false;
}
Example usage:
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2017-07-27 05:00');
if(x_seconds($date)):
print "Is within 30 minutes.";
else:
print "IS NOT within 30 minutes";
endif;

Answer 6

Try this to solve the issue
$current = strtotime('12:00:00');
$to_check = strtotime(date('H:i:s'));
$newtime = round(( $to_check - $current ) /60 );
if($newtime > 30){
echo "greater";
}else {
echo "not greater";
}
