My Answer:
> Here is an example code snippet in Laravel 8 that loops through the time range and adds 30 minutes to each iteration:

php
$start_time = '09:00:00';
$end_time = '17:00:00';

$available_times = [];

$current_time = $start_time;

while (strtotime($current_time) <= strtotime($end_time)) {
$available_times[] = $current_time;
$current_time = date("H:i:s", strtotime($current_time) + 1800); // Add 30 minutes (1800 seconds)
}

// Output the array of available times
dd($available_times);


In this code snippet, we start with the `$start_time` and loop through until we reach the `$end_time`, adding 30 minutes to each iteration using the `strtotime` and `date` functions. The resulting array `$available_times` will contain all the times in 30-minute intervals between the start and end times.

Make sure to replace `$start_time` and `$end_time` with your actual start and end times, and adjust the time format if needed. Let me know if you need any further assistance!
