Add 5 minutes to current time in php

I want to add 5 minutes to this date: 2011-04-8 08:29:49

$date = '2011-04-8 08:29:49';

When I use strtotime I am always getting 1970-01-01 08:33:31

How do I add correctly 5 minutes to 2011-04-8 08:29:49?

$date = '2011-04-8 08:29:49';
$currentDate = strtotime[$date];
$futureDate = $currentDate+[60*5];
$formatDate = date["Y-m-d H:i:s", $futureDate];

Now, the result is 2011-04-08 08:34:49 and is stored inside $formatDate

Enjoy! :]

Try this:

echo date['Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime['+5 minutes', strtotime['2011-04-8 08:29:49']]];

$expire_stamp = date['Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime["+5 min"]];
$now_stamp    = date["Y-m-d H:i:s"];

echo "Right now: " . $now_stamp;
echo "5 minutes from right now: " . $expire_stamp;

Results in:

2012-09-30 09:00:03

2012-09-30 09:05:03

For adding

$date = new DateTime['2014-02-20 14:20:00'];
$date->add[new DateInterval['P0DT0H5M0S']];
echo $date->format['Y-m-d H:i:s'];
It add 5minutes

For subtracting

$date = new DateTime['2014-02-20 14:20:00'];
$date->sub[new DateInterval['P0DT0H5M0S']];
echo $date->format['Y-m-d H:i:s'];

It subtract 5 minutes

If i'm right in thinking.

If you convert your date to a unix timestamp via strtotime[], then just add 300 [5min * 60 seconds] to that number.

$timestamp = strtotime[$date] + [5*60]

Hope this helps

more illustrative for simple and clear solution

    $date = '2011-04-8 08:29:49';
    $newtimestamp = strtotime[$date. ' + 5 minute'];//gets timestamp
    //convert into whichever format you need 
    $newdate = date['Y-m-d H:i:s', $newtimestamp];//it prints 2011-04-08 08:34:49
