Question

I currently have a list of time diffs in G:i format.

I would like to add them all up but when i try to it resets at 24 back to 0.
How can i get a result like: 54:45 for example?

Thanks in advance.

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$username = $row['username'];
$begintime = $row['begintime'];
$endtime = $row['endtime'];

$begintime = new DateTime($begintime);
$begintime = $begintime->format('H:i');

$endtime = new DateTime($endtime);
$endtime = $endtime->format('H:i');

$difference = strtotime($endtime) - strtotime($begintime);
$difference = date('G:i', $total);  
$total_hours += $difference;  

Answer 1

Don’t use date() to format absolute times. Since $difference contains the time difference in seconds, it’s just a matter of simple arithmetics:

$hours = floor( $difference / 60 / 60 );
$minutes = ( $difference / 60 ) % 60;

echo "$hours:$minutes";
