Here's how I would try to do it:
<?php
$times = array("03:35", "02:31", "04:59");
$hours = 0;
$minutes = 0;
$seconds = 0;
while (list(,$time) = each($times)){
$minsec = explode(':', $time);
$minutes += $minsec[0];
$seconds += $minsec[1];
}
$minutes += (int) ($seconds/60);
$seconds = $seconds % 60;
$hours = (int) ($minutes/60);
$minutes = $minutes % 60;
if ($hours){
echo "$hours hours, ";
}
echo "$minutes minutes, $seconds seconds<BR>\n";
?>
There's probably several other ways to do it. YMMV.
