Question 55682 in PHP Question posted in
Official manual can be found here.

how can I add some hours in PHP/Carbon?

I am using Laravel and have this code:

$date = now()->locale('es_ES');

$start_date = $date->isoFormat('D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY')
$start_time = $date->isoFormat('HH[H]hh')
$end_date =  $date->addHours(3)->isoFormat('D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY')
$end_time =  $date->addHours(3)->isoFormat('HH[H]hh')

this is the output

start_date : 24 de abril de 2023
start_time : 21H09
end_date : 25 de abril de 2023
end_time: 03H03

I would like the end date and time to be something like this:

end_date: 25 de abril de 2023
end_time: 00H09

it looks like it is adding more then 3 hours, and also the minutes is different, what is happening? thanks

    If you want minute, you need mm instead of hh, then you should copy the date and add hours only once:

    $date = now()->locale('es_ES');

$start_date = $date->isoFormat('D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY');
$start_time = $date->isoFormat('HH[H]mm');

$end = $date->addHours(3);

$end_date =  $end->isoFormat('D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY');
$end_time =  $end ->isoFormat('HH[H]mm');

    (note that now() is creating a mutable Carbon object, switch to CarbonImmutable to have immutable instead is also an option)

    I think you’re looking for something like this:

        $start = now()->locale('es_ES');
    $end = $start->copy()->addHours(3);
    
    $start_date = $start->isoFormat('D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY');
    $start_time = $start->isoFormat('HH[H]hh');
    $end_date = $end->isoFormat('D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY');
    $end_time = $end->isoFormat('HH[H]hh');
