setTime to set hour minutes and seconds of any date object in PHP

By using a date object we can set time to any value by using setTime property this format

setTime( Hour, minutes, seconds )

All above inputs are in integer.
Here are some examples.


date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');

$date = new DateTime('2012-04-15 22:15:40');

echo $date->format('Y/m/d H:i:s') . "<br>";

$date->setTime(23,30);

echo $date->format('Y/m/d H:i:s') . "<br>";

The output is here

2012/04/15 22:15:40
2012/04/15 23:30:00

We can change the setTime to different values and output will change like this .

$date->setTime(2,50,32);

output is here

2012/04/15 22:15:40
2012/04/15 02:50:32

date_time_set($date, 24, 56,58);
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

2020-08-17 00:56:58
