I have the following code that receives the user a start date ( $dtStart ) and another end date ( $dtEnd ). The goal is to do an hourly query in mysql between these two dates.

I need to control the process in a loop in php (because other events run between those minutes).

//Nesse exemplo deveria haver 24hs
$dtStart="2018-01-01";
$dtEnd  ="2018-01-01";

$dtTimeStart=$dtStart." 00:00:00";
$dtTimeEnd  =$dtEnd  ." 23:59:59";    
$hourdiff = round((strtotime($dtTimeEnd) - strtotime($dtTimeStart))/3600, 1);
echo "diffHours=".$hourdiff;//24

$x=1;
while($x <= $hourdiff) {


    echo "Hour: $x <br>";

    if($x==1){
        $dtStrt = $dtTimeStart;
    }else{
        $dtStrt = $dtEnd;
    }
    $date   = new DateTime($dtStrt);

    $dtTemp = $date->modify('+1 hour');
    $dtEnd  = $dtTemp->format('Y-m-d H:m:s');

    echo "=======================================================<br>";
    echo "dtStrt = ".$dtStrt."<br>";
    echo "dtEnd = ".$dtEnd."<br>";
    echo "=======================================================<br>";
    echo "</br>";
    $x++;
}

exit;

And this is what I have in the browser as a result of the operation:

As you can see the date is incremented by +1 hour and + 1min. And the last hour is going through January 2 (in the example) and +1 min. That is, we have in total 24 + 1min. The expected would be only 24 hours.

Any ideas how to fix this?

The code is correct, the problem is that you are capturing the month m , instead of the i minutes.

The error is in:

$dtEnd  = $dtTemp->format('Y-m-d H:m:s');

The correct one is:

$dtEnd  = $dtTemp->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
