This is a function i used in the past for substracting a date from another one related with your question  my principe was to get how many days  hours minutes and seconds has left until a product has expired     expirationDate   strtotime  2015-01-12 20 08 23     toDay   strtotime date  Y-m-d H i s      difference   abs  toDay -  expirationDate    days   floor  difference   86400    hours   floor   difference -  days   86400    3600    minutes   floor   difference -  days   86400 -  hours   3600    60    seconds   floor  difference -  days   86400 -  hours   3600 -  minutes   60    echo    days  days   hours  hours   minutes  minutes   seconds  seconds

Solution that should exclude 0 values and set correct singular plural values  use DateInterval  use DateTime   class TimeIntervalFormatter        public static function fromSeconds  seconds                 seconds    int  seconds           dateTime   new DateTime             dateTime- gt sub new DateInterval  PT  seconds S              interval    new DateTime   - gt diff  dateTime            pieces   explode       interval- gt format   y  m  d  h  i  s              intervals     year    month    day    hour    minute    second             result               foreach   pieces as  i   gt   value                if    value                    continue                             periodName    intervals  i               if   value  gt  1                     periodName     s                              result        value    periodName                      return implode        result

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

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

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

A variation on  Glavic s answer - this one hides leading zeros for shorter results and uses plurals in correct places  It also removes unnecessary precision  e g  if the time difference is over 2 hours  you probably don t care how many minutes or seconds    function secondsToTime  seconds         dtF   new  DateTime   0         dtT   new  DateTime    seconds         dateInterval    dtF- gt diff  dtT        days t    day        hours t    hour        minutes t    minute        seconds t    second       if   int  dateInterval- gt d  gt  1             days t    days             if   int  dateInterval- gt h  gt  1             hours t    hours             if   int  dateInterval- gt i  gt  1             minutes t    minutes             if   int  dateInterval- gt s  gt  1             seconds t    seconds               if   int  dateInterval- gt d  gt  0            if   int  dateInterval- gt d  gt  1     int  dateInterval- gt h     0                return  dateInterval- gt format   a  days t              else               return  dateInterval- gt format   a  days t   h  hours t                    else if   int  dateInterval- gt h  gt  0            if   int  dateInterval- gt h  gt  1     int  dateInterval- gt i     0                return  dateInterval- gt format   h  hours t              else               return  dateInterval- gt format   h  hours t   i  minutes t                    else if   int  dateInterval- gt i  gt  0            if   int  dateInterval- gt i  gt  1     int  dateInterval- gt s     0                return  dateInterval- gt format   i  minutes t              else               return  dateInterval- gt format   i  minutes t   s  seconds t                    else           return  dateInterval- gt format   s  seconds t               php  gt  echo secondsToTime 60   1 minute php  gt  echo secondsToTime 61   1 minute  1 second php  gt  echo secondsToTime 120   2 minutes php  gt  echo secondsToTime 121   2 minutes php  gt  echo secondsToTime 2000   33 minutes php  gt  echo secondsToTime 4000   1 hour  6 minutes php  gt  echo secondsToTime 4001   1 hour  6 minutes php  gt  echo secondsToTime 40001   11 hours php  gt  echo secondsToTime 400000   4 days

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

an extended version of Glavic s excellent solution   having integer validation  solving the 1 s problem  and additional support for years and  months  at the expense of being less computer parsing friendly in favor of being more human friendly    lt  php function secondsToHumanReadable   int    seconds     string           if you dont need php5 support  just remove the is int check and make the input argument type int      if   is int  seconds            throw new  InvalidArgumentException  Argument 1 passed to secondsToHumanReadable   must be of the type int     gettype  seconds    given               dtF   new  DateTime     0          dtT   new  DateTime      seconds          ret           if   seconds     0               special case         return  0 seconds              diff    dtF- gt diff    dtT        foreach   array                y    gt   year                m    gt   month                d    gt   day                h    gt   hour                i    gt   minute                s    gt   second         as  time   gt   timename             if   diff- gt  time     0                 ret     diff- gt  time          timename              if   diff- gt  time     1  amp  amp   diff- gt  time     -1                      ret     s                              ret                             return substr    ret  0  - 1        var dump secondsToHumanReadable 1 60 60 2 1    -  string 16   2 hours 1 second

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

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
