How to get the current time and add 10 minutes?

[rwahdan1978]

I am trying to get the current time and add 10 minutes before saving to DB.

$addingTenMinutes= strtotime('now() + 10 minute');
$end_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $addingFiveMinutes);

why it is not working?

You're assigning $addingTenMinutes but then using $addingFiveMinutes, which doesn't exist.

Also, strtotime('now() + 10 minute') is not a valid syntax for strtotime. 

 

Here is a corrected version: 

$addingTenMinutes = strtotime('+10 minutes');
$end_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $addingTenMinutes);

If the only reason for that value is to write to the DB then you can do it in the insert query...

INSERT INTO tablename (colx, coly, colz) VALUES (?, ?, NOW() + INTERVAL 10 MINUTE)
