[subtract 15 minutes from mysql TIME]

Ill give that a try.  Id rather do it with php....than in the mysql query.  Is there a reason to do it one way or the other?

 

thanks for the reply

[subtract 15 minutes from mysql TIME]

Hi all -

 

Im have data stored in a mysql DB using the data type of TIME.  I dont want dateTime as I dont care about the date....just time.  I want to simply subtract 15 minutes from that time.  So, if the time in the database reads 13:00:00 I want to subtract 15 minutes from that so it reads 12:45 PM.

 

I have tried using:

$tourTime = $row_Recordset1['TheTimeInMyDatabase'];

$tourTime_seconds = strtotime ($tourTime);

$meetingTime_seconds = $tourTime_seconds - 900;

$adjustedTime = time ("h:i p", $meetingTime_seconds);

 

This seems like a really easy thing to do.  Im glad its a struggle for me because its teaching me more about php.....but now Im ready for it to work.

 

Thanks

Adam
