Time calculation in php (add 10 hours)?

Question

strtotime() gives you a number back that represents a time in seconds. To increment it, add the corresponding number of seconds you want to add. 10 hours = 60*60*10 = 36000, so...

$date = date('h:i:s A', strtotime($today)+36000); // $today is today date

Edit: I had assumed you had a string time in $today - if you're just using the current time, even simpler:

$date = date('h:i:s A', time()+36000); // time() returns a time in seconds already

$tz = new DateTimeZone('Europe/London');
$date = new DateTime($today, $tz);
$date->modify('+10 hours');
// use $date->format() to outputs the result.

see DateTime Class (PHP 5 >= 5.2.0)

$date = date('h:i:s A', strtotime($today . ' + 10 hours'));

(untested)

You can simply make use of the DateTime class , OOP Style.

<?php
$date = new DateTime('1:00:00');
$date->add(new DateInterval('PT10H'));
echo $date->format('H:i:s a'); //"prints" 11:00:00 a.m

$date = date('h:i:s A', strtotime($today . " +10 hours"));

Full code that shows now and 10 minutes added.....

$nowtime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
echo $nowtime;
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($nowtime . ' + 10 minute'));
echo "<br>".$date;
