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<br>

I am no expert, but I do believe this would require a bit of custom
<br>
coding. Just a few lines however.<br>
