I can tell you I've built an invoicing system in java which isn't far 
off from a time tracking system.  I can also tell you it's not as simple 
as it seems.  You're going to have to add time, which is more 
complicated than adding normal numbers since it's base 60 rather than 
base 10 (except when you're dealing with days which roll over at 24).  
Things get a bit simpler when dealing with timestamps but you still have 
to convert everything back and forth between human and system readable 
formats - in both directions.  Then if you want to calculate it by, say, 
an hourly rate you're going to have to convert 6:40 into 6.666666 etc 
and multiply that by the rate - watch out for floating point exceptions 
(wait - how does php handle stuff like that again?)!  oh, the fun 
begins.  It took me a long time to end up with a fairly bug free 
system... just to give you an idea.  good luck
