[RESOLVED] Converting seconds to minutes and hours

[mhodge87]

Guys, This is really simple, but I just want to make sure my math is correct here:

Its converting a number of seconds into hours and minutes. Here is the function

function timeCalc($seconds)
{

   $min = round(($seconds / 60));
   $hour = round(($min / 60));
   $nmin = round(($min % 60));
   $dtime = $hour . " hours and " . $nmin . " minutes";
   return $dtime;
}

I've updated the function to this to update a few of the mistakes I've noticed.

function timeCalc($seconds)
{

   $hour = round($seconds / 3600);
   $min = round(($seconds % 3600) / (60));

   $dtime = $hour . " hours and " . $min . " minutes";
   return $dtime;

Its still not doing something right, I think it may be with the rounding.

To make it generally useful, I'd probably return an array:

function timeCalc($seconds)
{
   $result = array();
   $result['hours'] = floor($seconds / 3600);
   $result['minutes'] = round(($seconds % 3600) / 60);
   return $result;
}

$time = timeCalc(7340);
printf("%d hours and %d minutes", $time['hours'], $time['minutes']);
