How to convert seconds to time format? [duplicate]

Answer 1

$hours = floor($seconds / 3600);
$mins = floor($seconds / 60 % 60);
$secs = floor($seconds % 60);

If you want to get time format:

$timeFormat = sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', $hours, $mins, $secs);

Answer 2

Use modulo:

$hours = $time_in_seconds / 3600;
$minutes = ($time_in_seconds / 60) % 60;

Answer 3

1 day = 86400000 milliseconds.

DecodeTime(milliseconds/86400000,hr,min,sec,msec)

Ups! I was thinking in delphi, there must be something similar in all languages.

Answer 4

something like this?

if(is_numeric($time)){
    $value = array(
        "years" => 0, "days" => 0, "hours" => 0,
        "minutes" => 0, "seconds" => 0,
    );
    if($time >= 31556926){
        $value["years"] = floor($time/31556926);
        $time = ($time%31556926);
    }
    if($time >= 86400){
        $value["days"] = floor($time/86400);
        $time = ($time%86400);
    }
    if($time >= 3600){
        $value["hours"] = floor($time/3600);
        $time = ($time%3600);
    }
    if($time >= 60){
        $value["minutes"] = floor($time/60);
        $time = ($time%60);
    }

    $value["seconds"] = floor($time);
    return (array) $value;
    
} else{
    return (bool) FALSE;
}

Answer 5

Let $time be the time as number of seconds.

$seconds = $time % 60;
$time = ($time - $seconds) / 60;
$minutes = $time % 60;
$hours = ($time - $minutes) / 60;

Now the hours, minutes and seconds are in $hours, $minutes and $seconds respectively.

Answer 6

ITroubs answer doesn't deal with the left over seconds when you want to use this code to convert an amount of seconds to a time format like hours : minutes : seconds

Here is what I did to deal with this: (This also adds a leading zero to one-digit minutes and seconds)

$seconds = 3921; //example

$hours = floor($seconds / 3600);
$mins = floor(($seconds - $hours*3600) / 60);
$s = $seconds - ($hours*3600 + $mins*60);

$mins = ($mins<10?"0".$mins:"".$mins);
$s = ($s<10?"0".$s:"".$s); 

$time = ($hours>0?$hours.":":"").$mins.":".$s;

$time will contain "1:05:21" in this example.
