Question

Hello I am trying to compare a time during with Hours:Minutes:Seconds format using strtotime function but there is a probleme if Hours is more than 24

PHP Code:

$time_duration_1 = '102:44:18';
$time_duration_2 = '87:42:19';

if(strtotime($time_duration_1) > strtotime($time_duration_2))
{
   return true;
}else{
   return false;
}

Is there any handy function for that kind of situation? or shall I do the checking manually hard coded?

Thanks in advance

Make a function to calculate your hours, minutes and seconds:

function formatHours($time){
    $date = explode(':', $time);
    return ($date[0]*60*60)+($date[1]*60)+$date[2];
}

if(formatHours($time_duration_1) > formatHours($time_duration_2)){
// ......
