How to get difference between $timeNow and $timeFuture with Laravel and display in format "H:i:s" ?

Answer 1

Using Carbon's diffInSeconds method and gmdate(), you can get it like this:

$timeNow = \Carbon::now();
$timeFuture = \Carbon::now()->addSeconds(7500);

echo gmdate("H:i:s", $timeNow->diffInSeconds($timeFuture));
