Convert Seconds to Hours:Mins:Secs

Arc

I am trying to figure out how to do this with PHP. If i have however many seconds i need to convert those into Hours:Mins:Secs format. Is there some simple function in PHP to do this or does it require some math?

If it does require math, anyone know the best way to do it?

Thanks!😃

First are you using time..

If so you can actually use date(); to do it

date(format,time);

Format the way you want it displayed...Time a variable which will be converted to the format

since you need a kind of relative time (other thread 😃 ), you have to do some math:

$hours = floor($sec / 3600);
$sec %= 3600;
$min = floor($sec / 60);
$sec %= 60;

i guess that's the straightest way

OK i'll give that a shot. I am not familiar with the "floor" or "%=" functions. What exactly do those do?

Thanks!😃

I Found out Floor rounds the number to a whole number. But still not sure what %= does.

Is there a way to make it show "05" or "00" instead of just 5 or 0?

Thanks!

% is modulo, it the rest of the division

A / B = C, rest=D
A % B = D

"$s = $s % $d" is the same like "$s %= $d"

$hours = floor($sec / 3600);
if ($hours < 10) $hours = "0" . $hours;
$sec %= 3600;
$min = floor($sec / 60);
if ($min < 10) $min = "0" . $min;
$sec %= 60;
if ($sec < 10) $sec = "0" . $sec;

not quite sure if that works, but it should 🙂

ahh ok. yah i went ahead and did it with If statements, i was windering if there was a more elegant way😉

Thanks alot man!😃
