How to increase seconds in a variable ?

to increase in a date .. :

date("m/d/Y h:i:s a", time() + 30);

but i want to do this :

$seconds = 59;
$increase = 3;
$result = $seconds + $increase; // 62

i want it to stop by second 60 and re-calculate, the result should become 2 and not 60

Answer 1

You want the modulus operator:

$seconds = 59;
$increase = 3;
$result = ($seconds + $increase) % 60; // 2
