I currently have php returning the current date/time like so:
$now = date("Y-m-d H:m:s");
What I'd like to do is have a new variable $new_time equal $now + $hours, where $hours is a number of hours ranging from 24 to 800.
Any suggestions?
You may use something like the strtotime() function to add something to the current timestamp. $new_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+5 hours')).
If you need variables in the function, you must use double quotes then like strtotime("+{$hours} hours"), however better you use strtotime(sprintf("+%d hours", $hours)) then.
An other solution (object-oriented) is to use DateTime::add
Example:
<?php
$now = new DateTime(); //now
echo $now->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // 2021-09-11 01:01:55
$hours = 36; // hours amount (integer) you want to add
$modified = (clone $now)->add(new DateInterval("PT{$hours}H")); // use clone to avoid modification of $now object
echo "\n". $modified->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // 2021-09-12 13:01:55
Run script
DateTime::add PHP doc
DateInterval::construct PHP doc
You can use strtotime() to achieve this:
$new_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+3 hours', $now)); // $now + 3 hours
Correct
You can use strtotime() to achieve this:
$new_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+3 hours', strtotime($now))); // $now + 3 hours
You can also use the unix style time to calculate:
$newtime = time() + ($hours * 60 * 60); // hours; 60 mins; 60secs
echo 'Now: '. date('Y-m-d') ."\n";
echo 'Next Week: '. date('Y-m-d', $newtime) ."\n";
Um... your minutes should be corrected... 'i' is for minutes. Not months. :) (I had the same problem for something too.
$now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$new_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+3 hours', $now)); // $now + 3 hours
I use this , its working cool.
//set timezone
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
//set an date and time to work with
$start = '2014-06-01 14:00:00';
//display the converted time
echo date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('+1 hour +20 minutes',strtotime($start)));
for add 2 hours to "now"
$date = new DateTime('now +2 hours');
or
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+2 hours', $now)); // as above in example
or
$now = new DateTime();
$now->add(new DateInterval('PT2H')); // as above in example
You can try lib Ouzo goodies, and do this in fluent way:
echo Clock::now()->plusHours($hours)->format("Y-m-d H:m:s");
API's allow multiple operations.
For a given DateTime, you can add days, hours, minutes, etc. Here's some examples:
$now = new \DateTime();
$now->add(new DateInterval('PT24H')); // adds 24 hours
$now->add(new DateInterval('P2D')); // adds 2 days
PHP: DateTime::add - Manual https://www.php.net/manual/fr/datetime.add.php
$to = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); //"2022-01-09 12:55:46"
$from = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("$to -3 hours")); // 2022-01-09 09:55:46
$date_to_be-added="2018-04-11 10:04:46";
$added_date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime('+24 hours', strtotime($date_to_be)));
A combination of date() and strtotime() functions will do the trick.
$now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("+1 hours $now"));
I would like to add 5 days and current time to a date, which I have in string.
$date = new DateTime('2013-11-21');
date_add($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string('5 days'));
$curtime = date('H:i:s');
How to add current time to DateTime, or is there any other better way how to do it?
Just edit your last lane - I think it is the most objective solution to your problem. The rest of your code is correct.
$curtime = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
Remember that your second lane is just an alias to:
$date->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString('5 days'));
So the full code would be:
$date = new DateTime('2013-11-21');
$date->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString('5 days'));
$curtime = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
EDIT: I've just read your question again and you ask about adding current time to this date. If you want to add time, then you need to create it from current date. It's not the perfect solution, but I'm still working on it:
$now = new DateTime(date('1970-01-01 H:i:s'));
$date->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString($now->getTimestamp() . ' seconds'));
$curtime = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo $curtime;
EDIT2: I've corrected it much more, look at this code:
$date = new DateTime('2013-11-21');
$date->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString('5 days'));
$now = new DateTime('now');
$today = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d'));
$time = $today->diff($now);
$date->add($time);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
EDIT3: And remember about time zones:
$date = new DateTime('2013-11-21', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw'));
$date->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString('5 days'));
$now = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw'));
$today = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d'), new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw'));
$time = $today->diff($now);
$date->add($time);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

You can add 5 days like this:
$nextX = time() + (5 * 24 * 60 * 60);
5 days * 24 hours * 60 mins * 60 secs
Try:
$date = '2013-11-21';
$date = strtotime($date);
$date = strtotime("+7 day", $date);
echo date('M d, Y', $date);
Try this
$hour_two = "2013-11-21";
$date = strtotime($hour_two);
$hour_two = $date + (5 * 24 * 60 * 60);
$hour_two=date('Y-m-d',$hour_two);
$currenttime = date('H:i:s');
$h = strtotime($currenttime);
$minute = date("i", $h);
$second = date("s", $h);
$hour = date("H", $h);
$new_time = $hour_two." ".$hour.":".$minute.":".$second;
echo $new_time."<br/>"; // here is your final date time
$timeto_string=strtotime($new_time); // test using strtotime
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',$timeto_string); // print by formating
$curtime = date('H:i:s');
$date = #date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($mydate.$curtime)) ;
I want to send a reminder email.I don't want to use cron on Linux/Unix/BSD box or Scheduled Tasks on Windows.
I'm trying to subtract 15 minutes from the current time.
here is my code so far (doesn't work):
$days = date("j",time());
$months = date("n",time());
$years = date("Y",time());
$hours = date("G",time());
$mins = (date("i",time()));
$secs = date("s",time());
$mins = $mins-15;
To subtract 15 minutes from the current time, you can use strtotime():
$newTime = strtotime('-15 minutes');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $newTime);
Change the date into a timestamp (in seconds) then minus 15 minutes (in seconds) and then convert back to a date:
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$time = strtotime($date);
$time = $time - (15 * 60);
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $time);
You can use DateInterval
$date = new DateTime();
$interval = new DateInterval("PT15M");
$interval->invert = 1;
$date->add($interval);
echo $date->format("c") . "\n";
you can try this as well,
$dateTimeMinutesAgo = new DateTime("15 minutes ago");
$dateTimeMinutesAgo = $dateTimeMinutesAgo->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
How about substracting the 15 minutes from time() before converting it?
$time = time() - (15 * 60);
And then use $time instead of time() in your code.
$currentTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$before15mins = strtotime('-15 minutes');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $before15mins);
You can also use strtotime function to subtract days, hours and/or seconds from current time.
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-15 minutes'));
Following is the way you can add days / hours / minutes / sec to current time
$addInterval = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime("+$days days $hours hours $minute minute $sec second", strtotime(currentTime)));
You can also use DateInterval object
<?php
$date = new DateTime('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$date->sub(new DateInterval('PT10H30S'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');?>
Try using
$min = time() - 900; //900 seconds = 15 minutes
To subtract 15 minutes you can do:
date('Y-m-d H:i:s', (time() - 60 * 15));
You can replace 15 with the number of minutes you want.
In case you're looking to subtract seconds you can simply do:
date('Y-m-d H:i:s', (time() - 10));
In this way you'll subtract 10 seconds.
If you have only time value than below will be useful
// Your time
$time = '12:15:00';
// Returned value '12:00:00'
$newTime = date('H:i:s', strtotime($time) - (15*60));
I know this question is outdated but i just want to share how i did it in easy way
$current = new DateTime("10 minutes ago", new DateTimeZone('Asia/Manila') );
echo $current->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
//To Get Current DateTime
$currentDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
//To Get Current DateTime - 15Min
$oldDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($currentDate) - (15 * 60));
echo $currentDate;
echo $oldDate;
I have this variable:
$timestamp = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %h:%M:%S %a", time ());
I simply want to add three hours and echo it out.
I have seen the way where you can do the 60 * 60 * 3 method or the hard code "+ 3 hours" where it understands the words.
What is the best way of getting this result?
The best way is what you think is more readable. The following expressions are identical:
time() + 3 * 60 * 60
strtotime('+3 hours')
i always do like this
$current_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$new_time = strtotime($current_time . "+3hours");
echo $new_time;
or
$new_time = mktime(date('H')+3, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));
$new_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $new_time);
echo $new_time;
$timestamp = strftime("%Y-%m-%d %h:%M:%S %a", time() + 3*60*60)
3*60*60 is the best way
Just add seconds to add hours:
strtotime($your_date)+2*60*60
This will add two hours in your date.
You can use DateTime::modify to add time, but I would just do time()+10800.
$time = new DateTime("+ 3 hour");
$timestamp = $time->format('Y-M-d h:i:s a');
Clear and concise :)
If you want to go 'modern':
$d = new DateTime();
$d->add(new DateInterVal('P3H'));
$timestamp = $d->format('Y-M-d h:i:s a');
refs: DateTime object
How can I add 30 seconds to this time?
$time = date("m/d/Y h:i:s a", time());
I wasn't sure how to do it because it is showing lots of different units of time, when I only want to add 30 seconds.
$time = date("m/d/Y h:i:s a", time() + 30);
If you're using php 5.3+, check out the DateTime::add operations or modify, really much easier than this.
For example:
$startTime = new DateTime("09:00:00");
$endTime = new DateTime("19:00:00");
while($startTime < $endTime) {
$startTime->modify('+30 minutes'); // can be seconds, hours.. etc
echo $startTime->format('H:i:s')."<br>";
break;
}
What about using strtotime? The code would then be:
strtotime( '+30 second' );
$time = date("m/d/Y h:i:s a", time() + 30);
//or
$time = date("m/d/Y h:i:s a", strtotime("+30 seconds"));
General :
$add_time=strtotime($old_date)+30;
$add_date= date('m/d/Y h:i:s a',$add_time);
See mktime:
mktime (date("H"), date("i"), date("s") + 30)
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
should do what you want.
$time = date("m/d/Y h:i:s", time());
$ts = strtotime($time);
$addtime = date("m/d/Y h:i:s", mktime(date("h", $ts),date("i", $ts),date("s", $ts)+30,date("Y", $ts),date("m", $ts),date("d", $ts));
Would be a more explained version of all of the above.
