Converting Seconds to HH:MM:SS [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use the MySQL SEC_TO_TIME function.

Example:

mysql> SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(2378);
        -> '00:39:38'

So you can write your SQL query as:

SELECT username, score, SEC_TO_TIME(timeran) as timetaken FROM gamescores ORDER BY Time DESC

Your code then becomes:

<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT username, score, SEC_TO_TIME(timeran) as timetaken FROM gamescores ORDER BY Time DESC");
if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
for($rank=1; $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $rank++) {
    echo "<tr>
    <td>{$rank}</td>
    <td>{$row['username']}</td>
    <td>{$row['timetaken']}</td>
    <td>{$row['score']}</td>

Answer 2

You need to wrap your output with the function. Put this code in the appropriate place.

echo "<td>". sec2hms($row['timetaken']) . "</td>";
