seconds to minutes and days to weeks

Question

My question is, how with PHP we can have an automated system, which can do this: If we have $seconds= 120; And the script should get this value, see that this

Answer 1

<?php

    /**
     * @param int $secs
     *
     * @return string
     */
    function formatSeconds($secs) {
        $secs = (int)$secs;
        if ( $secs === 0 ) {
            return '0 secs';
        }
        // variables for holding values
        $mins  = 0;
        $hours = 0;
        $days  = 0;
        $weeks = 0;
        // calculations
        if ( $secs >= 60 ) {
            $mins = (int)($secs / 60);
            $secs = $secs % 60;
        }
        if ( $mins >= 60 ) {
            $hours = (int)($mins / 60);
            $mins = $mins % 60;
        }
        if ( $hours >= 24 ) {
            $days = (int)($hours / 24);
            $hours = $hours % 60;
        }
        if ( $days >= 7 ) {
            $weeks = (int)($days / 7);
            $days = $days % 7;
        }
        // format result
        $result = '';
        if ( $weeks ) {
            $result .= "{$weeks} week(s) ";
        }
        if ( $days ) {
            $result .= "{$days} day(s) ";
        }
        if ( $hours ) {
            $result .= "{$hours} hour(s) ";
        }
        if ( $mins ) {
            $result .= "{$mins} min(s) ";
        }
        if ( $secs ) {
            $result .= "{$secs} sec(s) ";
        }
        $result = rtrim($result);
        return $result;
    }

    echo formatSeconds(0), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(30), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(300), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(3000), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(30000), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(300000), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(3000000), "\n";
    echo formatSeconds(30000000), "\n";

Output:

0 secs
30 sec(s)
5 min(s)
50 min(s)
8 hour(s) 20 min(s)
3 day(s) 23 hour(s) 20 min(s)
4 week(s) 6 day(s) 53 hour(s) 20 min(s)
49 week(s) 4 day(s) 53 hour(s) 20 min(s)

Answer 2

You could use something as simple as:

$seconds = 120;
$minutes = floor($seconds/60);
echo $minutes.' min';

Am not really sure if I have understood your question properly though.

Answer 3

4 week(s) 6 day(s) 53 hour(s) 20 min(s)

53 hour(s) ? also, 300000 seconds is 3 days 11hrs, not 3 days 23hrs

function formatSeconds($secs) {

    if (!$secs = (int)$secs)
        return '0 seconds';

    $units = array(
        'week' => 604800,
        'day' => 86400,
        'hour' => 3600,
        'minute' => 60,
        'second' => 1
    );

    $strs = array();

    foreach($units as $name=>$int){
        if($secs < $int)
            continue;
        $num = (int) ($secs / $int);
        $secs = $secs % $int;
        $strs[] = "$num $name".(($num == 1) ? '' : 's');
    }

    return implode(', ', $strs);
}

var_dump(formatSeconds(0));
var_dump(formatSeconds(30));
var_dump(formatSeconds(300));
var_dump(formatSeconds(3000));
var_dump(formatSeconds(30000));
var_dump(formatSeconds(300000));
var_dump(formatSeconds(3000000));
var_dump(formatSeconds(30000000));


string(9) "0 seconds"
string(10) "30 seconds"
string(9) "5 minutes"
string(10) "50 minutes"
string(19) "8 hours, 20 minutes"
string(28) "3 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes"
string(37) "4 weeks, 6 days, 17 hours, 20 minutes"
string(37) "49 weeks, 4 days, 5 hours, 20 minutes"
