In PHP, how can I convert string time such as "84:12:49" (hours greater than 24) to DateTime object? I tried convert it to unix first but it doesn't return proper value

$time = explode(":", $time);
$timeUnix = mktime(intval($time[0]),intval($time[1]), intval($time[2]));

You want to get a DateInterval object. You could be use ->diff() with two DateTime objects.

$time = '84:12:49';
[$hours, $minutes, $seconds] = explode(':', $time);
$totalSeconds = $seconds   $minutes*60   $hours*3600;

$interval = (new DateTime())->diff(DateTime::createFromFormat('U', time()   $totalSeconds));
var_dump($interval);

Output

object(DateInterval)#3 (16) {
  ["y"]=>  int(0)
  ["m"]=>  int(0)
  ["d"]=>  int(3)
  ["h"]=>  int(12)
  ["i"]=>  int(12)
  ["s"]=>  int(48)
  ["f"]=>  float(0.996002)
  ["weekday"]=>  int(0)
  ["weekday_behavior"]=>  int(0)
  ["first_last_day_of"]=>  int(0)
  ["invert"]=>  int(0)
  ["days"]=>  int(3)
  ["special_type"]=>  int(0)
  ["special_amount"]=>  int(0)
  ["have_weekday_relative"]=>  int(0)
  ["have_special_relative"]=>  int(0)
}

Use DateInterval like so...

<?php

$time = '84:12:49';
$timeArray = explode(":", $time);

$date = new DateTime();
$date->add(new DateInterval('PT' . $timeArray[0] . 'H' . $timeArray[1] .  'M' . $timeArray[2] . 'S'));
// Your DateTime object is $date, display it like so for example...
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

We are creating a new DateTime object starting now.

We are then using DateInterval to add a new time period (PT) (starting from now) with the provided hours, minutes and seconds.
