Add time to current time in php

I am trying to add 15minutes to the current time. I am using the following code:

$curtime = date['H:i'];                     
$newtime = $curtime + strtotime['+15 minutes'];

But this still only prints the current time and not the current time + 15.

I want it to add 15mins like so

e.g. If the time is 12:30 the time after addition will be 12:45

Thanks.

Close, you want:

$new_time = date['H:i', strtotime['+15 minutes']];

You could do:

echo date['H:i', [time[] + [15 * 60]]];

try this:

$curtime = date['H:i'];
$newtime = strtotime[$curtime] + [15 * 60];
echo date['H:i', $newtime];

In case anyone wants to make it work in Object-oriented way, here is the solution:

$currentTime = new DateTime[];
$currentTime->add[new TimeInterval['PT15M']];
// print the time
echo $currentTime->format['H:i'];

Requires PHP >= 5.3

Here we’ll provide the simplest way to add days, minutes, hours and seconds to time using PHP. In PHP, using date[] and strtotime[] function you can easily increase or decrease time. The provided PHP code lets you do the following works.

• Add days to datetime.
• Add hours to datetime.
• Add minutes to datetime.
• Add seconds to datetime.

$startTime = date["Y-m-d H:i:s"];//display the starting time
echo 'Starting Time: '.$startTime;//add 1 hour to time
$cenvertedTime = date['Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime['+1 hour',strtotime[$startTime]]];//display the converted time
echo 'Converted Time [added 1 hour]: '.$cenvertedTime;//add 1 hour and 30 minutes to time
$cenvertedTime = date['Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime['+1 hour +30 minutes',strtotime[$startTime]]];//display the converted time
echo 'Converted Time [added 1 hour & 30 minutes]: '.$cenvertedTime;//add 1 hour, 30 minutes and 45 seconds to time
$cenvertedTime = date['Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime['+1 hour +30 minutes +45 seconds',strtotime[$startTime]]];//display the converted time
echo 'Converted Time [added 1 hour, 30 minutes  & 45 seconds]: '.$cenvertedTime;//add 1 day, 1 hour, 30 minutes and 45 seconds to time
$cenvertedTime = date['Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime['+1 day +1 hour +30 minutes +45 seconds',strtotime[$startTime]]];//display the converted time
echo 'Converted Time [added 1 day, 1 hour, 30 minutes  & 45 seconds]: '.$cenvertedTime;

Using the above code you can add time to current time or any desire time. To sub-track use the same code except - instead of +.
