I need to sum two variable each of them have time in time format how can i add them to have result in the same time format.

$c1 = 29:00:00
$c2 = 05:10:00


$c = $c1 + $c2;

when i echo $c it gives result as 34
But i need result as 34:10:00

<?php
$c1 = mktime(06,00,00,0,0,0);
$c2 = mktime(05,10,00,0,0,0);
$c= $c1+$c2;
echo "Total is ".date("h:i:s", $c);
?>

use this script it will work fine.

It is not working. Please tyr it out with my given variable value. Time sum is coming wrong.

see if u want it in time format that it will not display more than this value 12:59:59 so when u add two values like 10:10:45 + 1:45:45 it will give result like 10:56:30
just try it,it will work like that.

if u use this echo "Total is ".date("H:i:s", $c);
than u can get result up to 24 hours.

I think the issue is not with the current problem. I think this same problem can also be solved with other simple functions. But anyway when I was new I was also getting into this kind of mess now and then. The above variables are time format that we assume but php will consider it as a string.

Back to the topic. The problem is simple here even though this is not the proper way of programming but as you have asked it I have written the code for it in simple way. First of all you know that there are only 3 possible figures in the formatted string. In there lies the solution.

Example Code:

<?php
$c1 = "29:00:00";
$c2 = "05:10:00";
$temp = explode(":", $c1);
$temp1 = explode(":", $c2);
$t0 = $temp[0] + $temp1[0];
$t1 = $temp[1] + $temp1[1];
$t2 = $temp[2] + $temp1[2];
$c = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $t0, $t1, $t2);
echo $c;
?>

Still this is not a proper way of programming but will solve your issue for now.

Thanks for suggestion slightly modify.

{
$temp = explode(":", $c1t);
$temp1 = explode(":", $r6[0]);
$t0 = $temp[0] + $temp1[0];
$t1 = $temp[1] + $temp1[1];
while( $t1 >= 60)
{
$t0 = $t0 +1;
$t1 = $t1 - 60;
}
$t2 = $temp[2] + $temp1[2];
$c1t = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $t0, $t1, $t2);
}

Thanks again
