Change the time in the variable

[mark103]

Hi guys,

I am working on my PHP script as I want to add the value in the variable to add it to 5 hours forward.

When I use this:

<?php
$links = $row['links'];
$html = file_get_html($links);

$base = $row['links'];

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $base);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, $base);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$str = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);


// Create a DOM object
$html = new simple_html_dom();
// Load HTML from a string
$html->load($str);

//output1
$title1 = $html->find('li[id=row1-1]', 0)->plaintext; // with this
$title1 = preg_split("/ {6,}/",$title1);

$time1 = $title1[1];

echo '<span id="time1">'.$time1.'</span> - <span id="title1">'.$programme1. $programme1_bbf. $programme1_cat.'</span><br></br>';

It will show this as the output:

5:00 PM

I want to add the hours in the variable of time1 to add it to 5 hours forward, so it would show like this:

10:00 PM

Can you please show me an example of how I can add the value in the variable to add it to 5 hours forward?

<?php

$timeInString = "5:00 PM";
// @see http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
$timeStamp = strtotime($timeInString);
// @see http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php
$dateTime = new DateTime();
// @see http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.settimestamp.php
$dateTime->setTimestamp($timeStamp);
// @see http://php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.construct.php
$dateInterval = new DateInterval("PT5H");
// @see  http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.add.php
$dateTime->add($dateInterval);
// @see http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
$result = $dateTime->format("g:i A");

echo $result;  
//10:00 PM
?>

Hi,

use DateTime and DateInterval, like this:

<?php

    $time = '05:00 PM';
    $dt = (new Datetime($time))->add(new DateInterval('PT5H'))->format('g:i A');

    echo $dt; # outputs 10:00 PM

For more information check the documentation.
