PHP Date Time Current Time Add Minutes

Simple question but this is killing my time.

Any simple solution to add 30 minutes to current time in php with GMT+8?

I think one of the best solutions and easiest is:

date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+30 minutes"))

Maybe it's not the most efficient but is one of the more understandable.

This is an old question that seems answered, but as someone pointed out above, if you use the DateTime class and PHP < 5.3.0, you can't use the add method, but you can use modify:

$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify("+30 minutes"); //or whatever value you want

Time 30 minutes later

$newTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s")." +30 minutes"))

$timeIn30Minutes = mktime(idate("H"), idate("i") + 30);

or

$timeIn30Minutes = time() + 30*60; // 30 minutes * 60 seconds/minute

The result will be a UNIX timestamp of the current time plus 30 minutes.

echo $date = date('H:i:s', strtotime('13:00:00 + 30 minutes') );

13:00:00 - any inputted time

30 minutes - any interval you wish (20 hours, 10 minutes, 1 seconds etc...)
