How to calculate the hours and mins between 2 time;

Question

How do I count the hours and mins between the 2 time, like for example:

between 9:00 and 6:20

I want to count the time from in to out. what should be retrieve is 9:20.

I am using codeigniter for these;

$in = date('h:i',strtotime("09:00:00"));
$out = date('h:i',strtotime("06:20:00"));

[`date_diff`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php) might help .. — txtechhelp, Oct 19 '16 at 03:19
Difference between 9:00 and 6:20 is 2 Hours and 40 Min, Not 9:20 — Gayan, Oct 19 '16 at 03:29

echo dateDifference('09:00:00','06:20:00');


function dateDifference($date_1 , $date_2 , $differenceFormat = '%h %i' )
{
    $datetime1 = date_create($date_1);
    $datetime2 = date_create($date_2);

    $interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);

    return $interval->format($differenceFormat);

}

This might help

$to_time = strtotime("2008-12-13 10:42:00");
$from_time = strtotime("2008-12-13 10:21:00");
echo round(abs($to_time - $from_time) / 60,2). " minute";

In this problem first you need to convert 6.20 to 18:20. Use the code below

$in = '9:00';
$out = '6:20';
$new_out=date('H:i:s',strtotime($out.'+ 12 hours'));

Now, the new value of the out time is 18:20.

To find the difference between two times, use the following code

$formated_in = new DateTime($in);
$formated_new_out = new DateTime($new_out);
$dteDiff  = $formated_in->diff($formated_new_out);
echo $dteDiff->format("%H:%I");

The output is 09:20

Thanks
