// I have to add together hundreds of shift times (for a timesheet
// application), shift times are given in hours and minutes - the solution
// is to convert each shift to minutes (1.45 -> 105, 0.45-> 45), add them
// together (105+45 -> 150), and used the minutes to hours function to
// return the total hours and minutes (150 -> 2.30).

// More Exmaples :
// 1.5 hours is taken to mean 1.05, 1 hour and 5 minutes.
// 0.65 hours means 65 minutes

Seems a little counter-intuitive to me.

1.5 should represent 1.5 hours, NOT 1 hour and 5 minutes...  even 1.05 would make more sense.  Better, still, why not accept multiple formats:

`44` = 44 hours
`3.75` = 3 and 3/4 hours
`8:24` = 8 hours, 24 minutes

Then wrap it all in one function:

&lt;?
function h2m($input)
    { 
    if(ereg(`:`,$input))
        {
        // we`re working in h:m mode
        list($h,$m) = explode(`:`,$input);
        $mins = ($h * 60) + $m;        
        }
    else
        {
        // we`ve been passed a decimal or whole number
        $mins = $input * 60;
        $mins = round($mins);
        }
    return $mins;
    }

// Examples:
echo "3.75 hours is ".h2m(`3.75`)." minutes &lt;br /&gt;\n";
echo "3:27 hours is ".h2m(`3:27`)." minutes &lt;br /&gt;\n";
echo "44 hours is ".h2m(`44`)." minutes &lt;br /&gt;\n";
?&gt;

Obviously some more format checking could be done, but you get the idea.
