I have built a clocking in and clocking out program and i am recording everything fine but i need the times to be rounded up to the next 15 minutes.

I am currently using the below code which would sometimes round up sometimes round down.

// Round Time to Next 15 mins
$CurrentTime = date('H:i:s');
$CurrentTime = strtotime($CurrentTime);
$precision = 60 * 15;
$NewTime = date('H:i:s', round($CurrentTime / $precision) * $precision);

It doesnt matter what the time is, it just always has to jump to the next 15 minutes (i.e. Quarter Past, Half Past, Quarter Too, On the Clock)

To always round up you can use [ceil](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ceil.php) – Roland Starke Aug 09 '19 at 13:32
@RolandStarke or he is using an array with [1 => 60, 2 => 45, 3 => 30, 4 => 15] and checking the minutes for the < xD – NvrKill Aug 09 '19 at 13:35
