Loop through array results within last hour - php

Question

I have a script that queries an API and finds records within the last day.
I'd like to then loop through these results and solely get those within the last hour.
Can someone explain how I do this?
This is my array of daily results:
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(36) {
["CallRef"]=> string(10) "1234567891"
["CallStartTime"]=> string(8) "08:18:30"
}
[1]=>
array(36) {
["CallRef"]=> string(10) "1234567892"
["CallStartTime"]=> string(8) "14:04:20"
}
}
It's 14:40 here in the UK so my script should just grab the 2nd item from the array.

Answer 1

How about this?
$apiElements = [
['CallRef' => '1234567891', 'CallStartTime' => '08:18:30'],
['CallRef' => '1234567892', 'CallStartTime' => '14:04:20'],
];
$currentFormatted = (new DateTime())->format('H');
$startOfHour = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $currentFormatted . ':00:00');
$endOfHour = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $currentFormatted . ':59:59');
$callsInHour = array_filter($apiElements, function($element) use ($startOfHour, $endOfHour) {
$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', $element['CallStartTime']);
return $dt >= $startOfHour && $dt <= $endOfHour;
});
Totally untested, but give it a try.
Next time, please post what code you tried...

Theres multiple ways to do this. You can get a Unix timestmap from a hour ago: strtotime('-1 hour'). You can explode the time on every : in the time and take the 2nd result from the explode result.
foreach ($array as $value){
$exploded=explode(":",$value['CallStartTime']);
if(date('H')-1>$exploded[1]){
//This means it's an hour ago.
}
}

Answer 3

Replace $allResults and try this:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$hourAgo = strtotime(date('H:i:s')) - 3600;
foreach ($allResults as $result){
if(strtotime($result["CallStartTime"]) > $hourAgo){
var_dump($result);
}
}

Answer 4

More flexible solution:
First you need a function to convert time to seconds
function convertTimeToSeconds($hhmmss)
{
//correct format if needed
list($hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode(':', $hhmmss);
return $hours * 3600 + $minutes * 60 + $seconds;
}
And then you just can use array_filter function
$now = date('H:i:s');
$nowSeconds = convertTimeToSeconds($now);
$filterFunction = function ($value) use ($nowSeconds) {
return ($nowSeconds - convertTimeToSeconds($value['CallStartTime'])) < 3600; //3600 seconds = hour
};
$filteredList = array_filter($array, $filterFunction);

I suppose you have this array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[CallRef] => 1234567892
[CallStartTime] => 21:04:20
)
[1] => Array
(
[CallRef] => 1234567892
[CallStartTime] => 09:08:08
)
[2] => Array
(
[CallRef] => 1234567892
[CallStartTime] => 08:11:08
)
[3] => Array
(
[CallRef] => 1234567892
[CallStartTime] => 20:59:08
)
)
And so i tried this
<?php
$arr = array(
"0" => array (
"CallRef" => 1234567892,
"CallStartTime" => "21:04:20"
),
"1" => array (
"CallRef" => 1234567892,
"CallStartTime" => "09:08:08"
),
"2" => array (
"CallRef" => 1234567892,
"CallStartTime" => "08:11:08"
),
"3" => array (
"CallRef" => 1234567892,
"CallStartTime" => "20:59:08"
)
);
//echo "<pre>";print_r($arr);die;
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/kolkata');//set your timezone
$currentTime = date('H:i:s');//getting current time
$lastHourTime = date('H:i:s', strtotime('-1 hour'));//getting last hour time
$result = array();
foreach ($arr as $singlearr){
if(strtotime($singlearr['CallStartTime']) >= strtotime($lastHourTime) && strtotime($singlearr['CallStartTime']) <= strtotime($currentTime)){
$result[] = $singlearr;
}else{
}
}
echo "<pre>";print_r($result);die;//this gives me last hour records only
Check Demo When you check demo All records which have time > last hour will return otherwise it will return empty array
May be it can help!
