php timestring() fails to return correct result 4:00 PM

GOAL: Add X amount of seconds to existing time stamp (H:i:s) and convert it into a human readable non-military (24:00 Hr) AM/PM time stamp (‘3:15 pm’). IF possible, I want to nix the leading zero in instances where timestamp would otherwise read ’03:15′.

PROBLEM: All tests return the same results adjusting for variable time added return the same final result: 16:00:00 and/or 04:00 pm

THE ASK: Guidance on where / how my code is failing and how to correct it. I have googled and searched stack, etc. I have run experiments for a few hours and I always get the same result regardless of variables I feed into the test. I have attempted 23 tests and continually returned the same result.

ENVIRONMENT: MAMP, PHP 8.1, Bootstrap

CURRENT RESULT: 01:43:21
1652258601
1652258807
16:00:00 PM
4:00 PM

THE CODE:

Answer

$stamp is already an integer/timestamp, so strtotime($stamp) fails. Take that off, and the date will format correctly.
