In PHP, you can use the DateTime class and its associated methods to add a specific number of hours or minutes to a DateTime object.
To add hours, you can use the modify() method with the + operator followed by the number of hours you want to add. Here's an example:
$datetime = new DateTime(); // create a new DateTime object with the current date and time
$hours = 2; // number of hours to add
$datetime->modify("+$hours hours");
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // output the updated date and time
To add minutes, you can use the same modify() method but with the + operator followed by the number of minutes you want to add. Here's an example:
$datetime = new DateTime(); // create a new DateTime object with the current date and time
$minutes = 30; // number of minutes to add
$datetime->modify("+$minutes minutes");
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // output the updated date and time
You can customize the format of the output by modifying the format parameter in the format() method as per your requirements.
