PHP: add seconds to a date

Question

I have $adate; which contains:

Tue Jan 4 07:59:59 2011

I want to add to this date the following:

$duration=674         


        

Answer 1

If you are using php 5.3+ you can use a new way to do it.

<?php 
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->getTimestamp(). "<br>";
$date->add(new DateInterval('PT674165S')); // adds 674165 secs
echo $date->getTimestamp();
?>

Answer 2

I have trouble with strtotime() to resolve my problem of add dynamic data/time value in the current time

This was my solution:

$expires = 3600; //my dynamic time variable (static representation here)
$date = date_create(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')); //create a date/time variable (with the specified format - create your format, see (1))
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s')."<br/>"; //shows the date/time variable without add seconds/time
date_add($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string($expires.' seconds')); //add dynamic quantity of seconds to data/time variable
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s'); //shows the new data/time value

$current_time_zone = 150;
date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"))+$current_time_zone);
