Question

I get a date from the database in this format

hh:mm:ss

And I want to add this to the current time and put back to an other table with the following format:

yyyy:mm:dd hh:mm:ss

Answer 1

Assuming you get the time from the database in a variable $dbTime I’d do something like this:

$timeArray = explode (":", $dbTime );
$newTime = time() + ($timeArray[0]*60*60) + ($timeArray[1]*60) + $timeArray[2];
$finalTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',$newTime);

May not be the cleanest way but it is an option 🙂
