Check if time X has less than 15 minutes from time Y

Here is what I am trying to solve.

$nextAppt = "3:45:23";
$keydata = "3:40:10";

I am trying to evaluate weather $nextAppt != $keydata && is not less than 15 minutes to $keydata.

$keydata by the way is an array of times that I am checking $nextAppt against.

foreach ($taken_time as $keydata ) {
    $moredata = strtotime("+15 minutes", strtotime($keydata))
    if($nextAppt != $keydata && $taken_time < $moredata ){  
    }
}

use http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php

so 

$diff = $time->diff($time2);
if ($diff->h == 0 && $diff->m < 15) { 
    ...
}

It's much easier to convert the times while calculating the unix time stamps. Then it's a matter of just subtracting:

$nextAppt - 900 (15 minutes * 60 seconds)

Use PHP Datetime object.

$keydata = new DateTime("3:40:10");
$nextAppt = new DateTime("3:45:23");
$diff = $keydata->getTimestamp() - $nextAppt->getTimestamp();
if (abs($diff) > 60*15)
{
  // TODO
}
