How to add times dynamically in php

Question

I am getting the duration of a video like 9:55 or 00:13:51 . I want to add these values in a loop in php

I have tried like

    $t_duartion =0;
    foreach ($learn_detail->video_det as $video_det){
        $t_duartion += date("H:i:s",strtotime($video_det->duration));
    }

But the result is not coming. Its not coming as hh:mm:ss format. How to achieve this guys in php.

Any body idea ?

According to your logic your trying to add 00:13:00 and 09:14:53 etc which is wrong.try this:

    foreach ($learn_detail->video_det as $video_det){
        $t_duartion += strtotime($video_det->duration);
    }
$t_duartion = date("H:i:s",$t_duartion);

Add all the durations together in seconds first and then use date().

Example:

$t_duartion = 0; // Typo in variable name btw.

foreach ( $learn_detail->video_det as $video_det ) {
    // Add duration of current video in seconds to total count.
    $t_duartion += strtotime( $video_det->duration );
}

// Convert total seconds to hh:mm:ss format.
$time = date( 'H:i:s', $t_duartion );
