PHP Date Time Current Time Add Minutes

Question

Simple question but this is killing my time.

Any simple solution to add 30 minutes to current time in php with GMT+8?

Answer 1

This is an old question that seems answered, but as someone pointed out above, if you use the DateTime class and PHP < 5.3.0, you can't use the add method, but you can use modify:

$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify("+30 minutes"); //or whatever value you want

Answer 2

The question is a little old, but I come back to it often ;p

Another way, which is also a one liner:

<?= date_create('2111-11-11 00:00:00')->modify("+30 minutes")->format('Y-m-d h:i:s') ?>

Or from timestamp, returns Y-m-d h:i:s:

<?= date_create('@'.time())->modify("+30 minutes")->format('Y-m-d h:i:s') ?>

Or from timestamp, returns timestamp:

<?= date_create('@'.time())->modify("+30 minutes")->format('U') ?>

Answer 3

Time 30 minutes later

$newTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s")." +30 minutes"))

Answer 4

$time = strtotime(date('2016-02-03 12:00:00'));
        echo date("H:i:s",strtotime("-30 minutes", $time));

Answer 5

It looks like you are after the DateTime function add - use it like this:

$date = new DateTime();
date_add($date, new DateInterval("PT30M"));

(Note: untested, but according to the docs, it should work)

Answer 6

I think one of the best solutions and easiest is:

strtotime("+30 minutes")

Maybe it's not the most efficient but is one of the more understandable.
