php time till specific date and time

Question

This is my current code:

$nm = strtotime('next monday 19:30');
$nt = strtotime('next wednesday 19:30');
$ns = strtotime('next Saturday 09:00');

It kind of works but let's say it is wednesday it won't tell me something like X hours, it will tell me 1 week X hours.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

To calculate weeks and hours first get time interval between now and desired time. Then divide the interval by seven days equivalent seconds to get week no and mod to get rest hours. Example:

$nm = strtotime('next monday 19:30');
$interval = $nm - time();
$week = floor($interval / (7 * 24 * 60 * 60));
$hour = floor(($interval % (7 * 24 * 60 * 60)) / 3600);

echo $week . ' week ' . $hour . ' hour(s)';

Answer 2

This got what I needed.

$day = date('l');
$hour = date('H');
$min = date('i');


if ($hour <= 19 and $min < 30 and $day == "Monday") {
    $nm = strtotime('this monday 19:30');
}else{
    $nm = strtotime('next monday 19:30');
}

if ($hour <= 19 and $min < 30 and $day == "Wednesday") {
    $nt = strtotime('this wednesday 19:30');
}else{
    $nt = strtotime('next wednesday 19:30');
}

if ($hour <= 09 and $min < 00 and $day == "Saturday") {
    $ns = strtotime('this saturday 09:00');
}else{
    $ns = strtotime('next saturday 09:00');
}
