This can be achieved with DateTime class Function  function secondsToTime  seconds         dtF   new  DateTime   0         dtT   new  DateTime  quot   seconds quot        return  dtF- gt diff  dtT - gt format   a days   h hours   i minutes and  s seconds       Use  echo secondsToTime 1640467     18 days  23 hours  41 minutes and 7 seconds  demo

I am editing one of the code to work it well when negative value comes  floor   function is not giving the correct count when the value is negative  So we need to use abs   function before using it in the floor   function   inputSeconds variable can be the difference between the current time stamp and the required date           Convert number of seconds into hours  minutes and seconds     and return an array containing those values          param integer  inputSeconds Number of seconds to parse      return array        function secondsToTime  inputSeconds          secondsInAMinute   60       secondsInAnHour    60    secondsInAMinute       secondsInADay      24    secondsInAnHour          extract days      days   abs  inputSeconds    secondsInADay        days   floor  days           extract hours      hourSeconds    inputSeconds    secondsInADay       hours   abs  hourSeconds    secondsInAnHour        hours   floor  hours           extract minutes      minuteSeconds    hourSeconds    secondsInAnHour       minutes   abs  minuteSeconds    secondsInAMinute        minutes   floor  minutes           extract the remaining seconds      remainingSeconds    minuteSeconds    secondsInAMinute       seconds   abs  remainingSeconds        seconds   ceil  remainingSeconds           return the final array      obj   array           d    gt   int   days           h    gt   int   hours           m    gt   int   minutes           s    gt   int   seconds             return  obj

The simplest approach would be to create a method that returns a DateInterval from the DateTime  diff of the relative time in  seconds from the current time  now which you can then chain and format  For example -  public function toDateInterval  seconds        return date create          now   time       seconds  - gt diff date create        now        Now chain your method call to DateInterval  format  echo  this- gt toDateInterval 1640467 - gt format   a days  h hours  i minutes       Result   18 days 23 hours 41 minutes

There are some very good answers here but none of them covered my needs  I built on Glavic s answer to add some extra features that I needed    Don t print zeros  So  5 minutes  instead of   0 hours  5 minutes  Handle plural properly instead of defaulting to the plural form  Limit the output to a set number of units  So  2 months  2 days  instead of  2 months  2 days  1 hour  45 minutes    You can see a running version of the code here   function secondsToHumanReadable int  seconds  int  requiredParts   null         from       new  DateTime   0         to         new  DateTime    seconds         interval    from- gt diff  to        str                  parts              y    gt   year            m    gt   month            d    gt   day            h    gt   hour            i    gt   minute            s    gt   second                includedParts   0       foreach   parts as  key   gt   text            if   requiredParts  amp  amp   includedParts  gt    requiredParts                break                      currentPart    interval- gt   key            if  empty  currentPart                 continue                     if   empty  str                  str                              str    sprintf   d  s    currentPart   text            if   currentPart  gt  1                   handle plural              str     s                       includedParts               return  str

All in one solution  Gives no units with zeroes  Will only produce number of units you specify  3 by default   Quite long  perhaps not very elegant  Defines are optional  but might come in handy in a big project   define  OneMonth   2592000   define  OneWeek   604800     define  OneDay   86400   define  OneHour   3600       define  OneMinute   60    function SecondsToTime  seconds   num units 3                 time descr   array                   months    gt  floor  seconds   OneMonth                    weeks    gt  floor   seconds OneMonth    OneWeek                    days    gt  floor   seconds OneWeek    OneDay                    hours    gt  floor   seconds OneDay    OneHour                    mins    gt  floor   seconds OneHour    OneMinute                    secs    gt  floor  seconds OneMinute                              res            counter   0       foreach   time descr as  k   gt   v            if   v                 res   v      k               counter                if  counter gt   num units                  break              elseif  counter                   res                                            return  res      Feel free to down-vote  but be sure to try it in your code  It might just be what you need

Based on the answer by Julian Moreno  but changed to give the response as a string  not an array   only include the time intervals required and not assume the plural   The difference between this and the highest voted answer is   For 259264 seconds  this code would give     3 days  1 minute  4 seconds   For 259264 seconds  the highest voted answer  by Glavic  would give      3 days  0 hours  1 minutes and 4 seconds   function secondsToTime  inputSeconds         secondsInAMinute   60       secondsInAnHour   60    secondsInAMinute       secondsInADay   24    secondsInAnHour          Extract days      days   floor  inputSeconds    secondsInADay           Extract hours      hourSeconds    inputSeconds    secondsInADay       hours   floor  hourSeconds    secondsInAnHour           Extract minutes      minuteSeconds    hourSeconds    secondsInAnHour       minutes   floor  minuteSeconds    secondsInAMinute           Extract the remaining seconds      remainingSeconds    minuteSeconds    secondsInAMinute       seconds   ceil  remainingSeconds           Format and return      timeParts            sections              day    gt   int  days           hour    gt   int  hours           minute    gt   int  minutes           second    gt   int  seconds              foreach   sections as  name   gt   value           if   value  gt  0                timeParts      value       name   value    1         s                         return implode        timeParts       I hope this helps someone

I don t know why some of these answers are ridiculously long or complex  Here s one using the DateTime Class  Kind of similar to radzserg s answer  This will only display the units necessary  and negative times will have the  ago  suffix    function calctime  seconds   0          datetime1   date create  quot  0 quot         datetime2   date create  quot   seconds quot         interval   date diff  datetime1   datetime2        if    interval- gt y  gt   1    thetime     pluralize   interval- gt y   year         if    interval- gt m  gt   1    thetime     pluralize   interval- gt m   month         if    interval- gt d  gt   1    thetime     pluralize   interval- gt d   day         if    interval- gt h  gt   1    thetime     pluralize   interval- gt h   hour         if    interval- gt i  gt   1    thetime     pluralize   interval- gt i   minute         if    interval- gt s  gt   1    thetime     pluralize   interval- gt s   second          return isset  thetime    implode       thetime      interval- gt invert     ago          NULL     function pluralize  count   text        return  count     count    1    quot   text quot     quot    text s quot          Examples        -86400   1 day ago        12345   3 hours 25 minutes 45 seconds    987654321   31 years 3 months 18 days 4 hours 25 minutes 21 seconds  EDIT  If you want to condense the above example down to use less variables   space  at the expense of legibility   here is an alternate version that does the same thing  function calctime  seconds   0         interval   date diff date create  quot  0 quot   date create  quot   seconds quot          foreach  array  y   gt  year   m   gt  month   d   gt  day   h   gt  hour   i   gt  minute   s   gt  second   as  format  gt  desc            if   interval- gt  format  gt   1   thetime      interval- gt  format     interval- gt  format    1    quot   desc quot     quot    desc s quot               return isset  thetime    implode       thetime      interval- gt invert     ago          NULL

This is the function rewritten to include days   I also changed the variable names to make the code easier to understand             Convert number of seconds into hours  minutes and seconds     and return an array containing those values          param integer  inputSeconds Number of seconds to parse      return array        function secondsToTime  inputSeconds          secondsInAMinute   60       secondsInAnHour    60    secondsInAMinute       secondsInADay      24    secondsInAnHour          extract days      days   floor  inputSeconds    secondsInADay           extract hours      hourSeconds    inputSeconds    secondsInADay       hours   floor  hourSeconds    secondsInAnHour           extract minutes      minuteSeconds    hourSeconds    secondsInAnHour       minutes   floor  minuteSeconds    secondsInAMinute           extract the remaining seconds      remainingSeconds    minuteSeconds    secondsInAMinute       seconds   ceil  remainingSeconds           return the final array      obj   array           d    gt   int   days           h    gt   int   hours           m    gt   int   minutes           s    gt   int   seconds             return  obj      Source  CodeAid   - http   codeaid net php convert-seconds-to-hours-minutes-and-seconds- php

gmdate  d H i s  1640467     Result will be 19 23 41 07  When it is just one second more than normal day  it is increasing the day value for 1 day  This is why it show 19  You can explode the result for your needs and fix this

The solution for this one I used  back to the days while learning PHP  without any in-functions    days    int   uptime 86400     1day   86400seconds  rdays    uptime-  days 86400       seconds remaining after uptime was converted into days  hours    int   rdays 3600    1hour   3600seconds converting remaining seconds into hours  rhours     rdays-  hours 3600      seconds remaining after  rdays was converted into hours  minutes    int   rhours 60      1minute   60seconds  converting remaining seconds into minutes echo   days  hours  minutes     Though this was an old question  new learners who come across this  may find this answer useful
