I should probably add this as an answer so someone can find it later. Use str_pad to your advantage here.

You have minutes and hours, both of which could be a 1-digit or 2-digits number. Design your code to account for that. Let's see the code. You can adapt it to your needs.

<?php

function formattedTime ($hours, $minutes) {
    return str_pad($hours, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . ':' . str_pad($minutes, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . "\n";
}

$hours = 7;
$minutes = 3;
echo formattedTime($hours, $minutes); // 07:03

$hours = 10;
$minutes = 3;
echo formattedTime($hours, $minutes); // 10:03

$hours = 7;
$minutes = 30;
echo formattedTime($hours, $minutes); // 07:30

$hours = 10;
$minutes = 30;
echo formattedTime($hours, $minutes); // 10:30

?>
