Question

how to add 6 hours to this string?

$parent = “2011-08-04 15:00:01”;

I think the best way is to convert it to timestamp add 21600 seconds and then convert it back to date time.

How to do this?

Thanks in advance.

You’re maybe looking for the http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php function

$timestamp = strtotime("2011-08-04 15:00:01");
$timestamp += 6 * 3600;
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp);
