Simple question but this is killing my time.
Any simple solution to add 30 minutes to current time in php with GMT+8?

A:
It looks like you are after the DateTime function add - use it like this:
$date = new DateTime();
date_add($date, new DateInterval("T30M"));
(Note: untested, but according to the docs, it should work)

That's a PHP >= 5.3.0 solution as the function ad the class DateInterval is not available in earlier versions.

Yes, but the title does specify Date Time, so I assume he is using the DateTime class

DateTime is part of PHP >= 5.2.0 but DateInterval as well as some DateTime methods are not available prior to 5.3.0.

A:
$timeIn30Minutes = mktime(idate("H"), idate("i") + 30);
or
$timeIn30Minutes = time() + 30*60; // 30 minutes * 60 seconds/minute
The result will be a UNIX timestamp of the current time plus 30 minutes.

I think one of the best solutions and easiest is:
strtotime("+30 minutes")
Maybe it's not the most efficient but is one of the more understandable.

Why the downvote, this is a valid method for adding a time interval?

A:
This is an old question that seems answered, but as someone pointed out above, if you use the DateTime class and PHP < 5.3.0, you can't use the add method, but you can use modify:
$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify("+30 minutes"); //or whatever value you want
