strtotime not working

Question

So, have a plugin that's a bit busted, it's meant to do a count down till next days opening hour. It seems to be adding on an additional 1.5 hours, i've tried a few things and nothing seem to to have an effect on it.

Original Code:

    // JS counters data
$right_now     = current_time( 'Y-m-j' );
$time_now      = current_time( 'timestamp' );

$tomorrow_time = date( 'Y-m-j', strtotime('+1 day', $time_now ) );

if ( $opening_time < $closing_time ) {
    $to_time   = $right_now . ' ' . $closing_time;
    $from_time = $tomorrow_time  . ' ' . $opening_time;
} else {
    $to_time   = $right_now . ' ' . $closing_time;
    $from_time = $right_now . ' ' . $opening_time;
}

I've tried this:

// JS counters data
$right_now     = current_time( 'Y-m-j' );
$time_now      = current_time( 'timestamp' );

$hours_fix = current_time( 'timestamp', strtotime('-1 hours, -30 minutes') );
$tomorrow_time = date( 'Y-m-j', strtotime('+1 day', $hours_fix ) );

if ( $opening_time < $closing_time ) {
    $to_time   = $right_now . ' ' . $closing_time;
    $from_time = $tomorrow_time  . ' ' . $opening_time;
} else {
    $to_time   = $right_now . ' ' . $closing_time;
    $from_time = $right_now . ' ' . $opening_time;
}

And a few other bits similar to adding an additional line to cover the 1.5 hours also tried changing the +1 day to +22 hours but the time doesn't move it's still 1.5 hours a head of what it should be, (i can't see any fixed timezone settings in the code so it should be pulling the time from the Wordpress install which is the correct time! Any one got any points here?

Answer 1

The current_time() function whenever passed a timestamp as a parameter will return a UNIX Timestamp which is already been run through strtotime(). By passing that variable to strtotime() you're trying to timestamp a timestamp. Try this instead:

$tomorrow_time = date( 'Y-m-j', $time_now );
