I am trying to generate trip listing for a bus transit system. I am provided with a bus route's service start time, no of runs per day and frequency.

Reference

E.g- If the first run is at 05:00, the next run is at 06:00, 07:00 & son on up to 7 runs. I am stuck at generating the departure & arrival time range array as shown below.

Array
(
    [0] => 05:00-06:00
    [1] => 06:00-07:00
    [2] => 07:00-08:00
    [3] => 08:00-09:00
    [4] => 09:00-10:00
    [5] => 10:00-11:00
)

I am a PHP fresher & have less idea about date and time concept in PHP. So need help on this.

    Can we see the code you're stuck with? If you want to learn more about date in PHP you could read https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php or https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.add.php. Also, 0 to 5 are only 6 trips – brombeer Feb 13 '20 at 08:41

$start = date('H:i', strtotime( $_POST['START'] ));
$frequenzy = date( 'g', strtotime( $_POST['FREQUENZY'] ));
$trips = $_POST['TRIPS'];

$time_array = array();

for( $i = 0; $i <= $trips; $i++ )  {
  $end = date( 'H:i', strtotime( $start . "+$frequenzy hour" ) );
  $time_array[] = "$start-$end";

  $start = $end;
}

I think that will help you. You only have to adjust the $_POST placeholder.
