Here's how I would try to do it:

<?php
    $times = array("03:35", "02:31", "04:59");
    $hours = 0;
    $minutes = 0;
    $seconds = 0;
    while (list(,$time) = each($times)){
        $minsec = explode(':', $time);
        $minutes += $minsec[0];
        $seconds += $minsec[1];
    }
    $minutes += (int) ($seconds/60);
    $seconds = $seconds % 60;
    $hours = (int) ($minutes/60);
    $minutes = $minutes % 60;
    if ($hours){
        echo "$hours hours, ";
    }
    echo "$minutes minutes, $seconds seconds<BR>\n";
?>

There's probably several other ways to do it.  YMMV.
