PHP Date Time Current Time Add Minutes

Time 30 minutes later

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

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

$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.

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.
