Set Minutes in DateTime?

Question

In jQuery are function to set Minutes, Hours etc. Is this also in PHP?

I have:

$date = new DateTime();

and

$min = '23';

I would like in $date set minutes to $min.

Is possible? If yes, how?

Answer 1

You are looking for DateTime::setTime.

If you want to modify the minutes and leave the hours untouched, you will of course have to pass the current hours value as the first parameter. Get that one with $dateTime->format('G').
