Adding Time

[berbbrown]

Can anyone tell me how I would add a number of minutes onto the current time?

An example would be adding 64 minutes to the current time.

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance

Check out www.php.net/strtotime, and particularly the GNU date formats.

echo 'in 64 minutes, the time will be ' . date('Y-m-d h:i:s', time() + (60 * 64));

Here is something I just banged out. It's really just a nice human interface for adding seconds to the passed timestamp, but it works.

BTW: There are only 78 shopping weeks until Christmas 2005.

<?php
function add_to_time($number,$span,$start = '') {
    $start = intval($start);
    $number = intval($number);

$valid_spans = array('week' => 604800,'day' => 86400,'hour' => 3600,'minute' => 60,'second' => 1);

if($start == 0) {$start = time();}
if($number < 1) {return 0;}
if(!in_array($span,array_keys($valid_spans))) {return 0;}

$offset = $number * $valid_spans[$span];

return ($start + $offset);
} //end in_milti_dim_array
?>
