I have a timestamp like 3:07:01 pm. Regardless of the number of seconds, I always need to round up this timestamp to 3:08:00 pm. How can I achieve this? I have tried using the ceiling function like so:

$time_rounded_up_to_nearest_minute = ceil(round(time() / 60) * 60);

but this function gives me some weird behavior around the 30 second mark. As soon as 30s mark hits it goes to the next minute, which is not what I want. I want it to always go to the nearest minute regardless of seconds

CodePudding user response：

Don't use round(), since it rounds to the nearest integer, it doesn't round up. Just use ceil() by itself.

$time_rounded_up_to_nearest_minute = ceil(time() / 60) * 60;
