使用输入字段将小时和分钟添加到日期时间？

Question

I'm trying to add hours and minutes to the datetime using inputfields.

the inputfields are within a flash application but they are similar to any other HTML input fields.

so for the sake of this question, I will be using HTML input fields.

currently I cannot even add the hours to the datetime, let alone the minutes!

My PHP code looks like this:

$myTime = mysqli_real_escape_string($db_conx, $_POST['myTime']);
$myMinute = mysqli_real_escape_string($db_conx, $_POST['myMinute']);

    $end_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"). ' + '.$myTime.' hours'));

and my input fields are like so:

    <input type="text" name="myTime" />
    <input type="text" name="myMinute" />

when I enter the $end_date into a MYSQL datetime field, I get this 1970-01-01 01:00:00

but I thought, with my code above, it should be today's date and time + whatever amount's passed through $myTime ?

could someone please advise on this issue?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use this code. Change variables according to you

 $minutes_to_add = 5; $h_to_add = 5; $time = new DateTime(); //Here you can also pass your Dynamic Variable like DateTime($variable); $time->add(new DateInterval('PT' . $minutes_to_add . 'M')); $time->add(new DateInterval('PT' . $h_to_add . 'H')); echo $stamp = $time->format('Ymd H:i:s'); 

Answer 2

Try something

$now = date("Y-m-d H:m:s");
//replace 3 with variable
$new_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+3 hours', $now));

//try to use some thing like $minutes = ($hours * 60) + $minutes;
// so you dont need to add separately.
// replace 10 with your variable
$new_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('+10 minutes', $now));
