Need Help in implementing total Hours, minutes, and seconds in PHP - php

Question

I am quite new to PHP I need help in implementing the total Hours and minutes in PHP.
I have an array of time in PHP in hours, minutes and seconds
(array) Array
(
[0] => 01:10:00
[1] => 01:20:30
[2] => 00:00:10
)
My Expected output should be the total time in Hours, minutes and seconds (ex. 2:30:40)

Answer 1

$hours;
$minutes;
$seconds;
foreach( $thatArray as $v )
{
$subArray = explode(':', $v);
$hours += $subArray[0];
$minutes += $subArray[1];
$seconds += $subArray[2];
}
// output $hours / $minutes / $seconds, correctly formatting, etc

Answer 2

Not going to give you the codez. here's how you can do it:
Get the individual components of the time using explode()
Start by adding the seconds. If the result is greater than 60, increment minutes and so on.

Answer 3

The easiest way would probably be to convert all of them to a seconds representation, sum them, and convert them back. For example:
function timeToSeconds($time) {
$parts = explode(':', $time);
return $parts[0] * 3600 + $parts[1] * 60 + $parts[2];
}
function secondsToTime($seconds) {
$hours = floor($seconds / 3600);
$minutes = floor($seconds / 60) % 60;
$seconds %= 60;
return str_pad($hours, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . ':' . str_pad($minutes, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . ':' . str_pad($seconds, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
$times = array('01:10:00', '01:20:30', '00:00:10');
$total = secondsToTime(array_sum(array_map('timeToSeconds', $times)));
Here's a demo.
