Current server time

[tourer]

Hey friends. I was looking for a Code which can convert my current server time into minutes: as in if its 12.00 am, it should show 0 minutes, then for 01.00 am it shows 60, till upto 1439 minutes for 11.59 pm.

 

Please anyone can help me. Actually my Mysql DB stores time in minutes format nd somewhere i need to compare the current server time with the time stored in the Database.

 

My Humble try is added below:

 

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
$T_time = date("H:i:s");
?>

date('H') * 60 + date('i')

 

BTW: You should use DATE, DATETIME, TIME or TIMESTAMP datatype to store time in MySQL. Makes all sort of things much easier.
