Question

I’m having troubles to get minute from a string with MINUTE() function, it always gives me 0

 $consulta=  sprintf("SELECT CURTIME()");
 echo $horaActual = $wpdb->get_var( $consulta );

 $consulta=sprintf("SELECT HOUR('$horaActual')");

 $horaActual= $wpdb->get_var( $consulta );

 $consulta=sprintf("SELECT MINUTE('$horaActual')");

 $minutosActuales= $wpdb->get_var( $consulta );

22:03:41

0

What is the trouble?

EDIT:

the trouble was the var $horaActual was asigned again in the second query. So the call in the third query was agaist a $horaActual=22 so thats why dosn’t work. Thanks.

You should simplify your SQL by running it in one statement:

SELECT MINUTE( CURTIME() )
