Mins to hours

[homer09001]

ok on my site i have a form when submitted hte php file the data is picked up by uses the timespan function to work out the time between two times given byt the user

then it converts it into minutes

no on anouther page i want to be abe to convert it back into hours but when i put /60 after the variable it doesnt work it out correctly instead of the time being 11:59 hours it says 11.983333333333

so how can i get it to convert back into 11:59?

You need to take the stuff after the decimal point ( .98... ) and convert that to seconds too... ( 60 * .98 )

but the problem is the value of the hours is not set it all depends on the total amount of hours the user has submitted so it always goping to be a different value i used the timespan fuction to convert to the unix timestamop if thats right if that helps?

Pardon? 0.9833333*60 minutes (rounded off) is fifty-nine minutes whether the number of hours is eleven, or three or forty-two. You'd have to do the same thing if you converted it to seconds (as a Unix timestamp) and then back to hours anyway - and there's little point using a Unix timestamp unless you want year, month and day as well.
