How to convert seconds to time format

Question

For some reason I convert a time format like  03 30 to seconds 3 3600   30 60  now  I wanna convert it back to its first  same  format up there  How could that be   My attempt   3 3600   30 60   12600   12600   60   210   60   3 5  floor 3 5    3   hour   Now  what about the minutes    Considering the value can be like 19 00 or 02 51   I think you got the picture   And by the way  how to convert 2 0 for example to 02 00 using RegEx

If the you know the times will be less than an hour, you could just use the date() or $date->format() functions.

$minsandsecs = date('i:s',$numberofsecs);

This works because the system epoch time begins at midnight (on 1 Jan 1970, but that's not important for you).

If it's an hour or more but less than a day, you could output it in hours:mins:secs format with `

$hoursminsandsecs = date('H:i:s',$numberofsecs);

For more than a day, you'll need to use modulus to calculate the number of days, as this is where the start date of the epoch would become relevant.

Hope that helps.

Sorry this is too late but maybe useful    function mediaTimeDeFormater  seconds        if   is numeric  seconds           throw new Exception  Invalid Parameter Type            ret             hours    string  floor  seconds   3600        secs    string   seconds   60       mins    string  floor   seconds -   hours   3600     60        if  strlen  hours     1           hours    0     hours      if  strlen  secs     1           secs    0     secs      if  strlen  mins     1           mins    0     mins       if   hours    0           ret     mins  secs       else          ret     hours  mins  secs        return  ret     echo mediaTimeDeFormater 216 064000    3 36

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 lt 10  0   mins     mins    s     s lt 10  0   s     s      time     hours gt 0  hours          mins      s     time will contain  1 05 21  in this example

If You want nice format like  0 00 00 use str pad   as  Gardner

Use modulo    hours    time in seconds   3600   minutes     time in seconds   60    60

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

Maybe the simplest way is   gmdate  H i s    your time in seconds

This might be simpler  gmdate  H i s    seconds   PHP gmdate

If you were to hardcode it you would use modulus to extract the time as others suggested   If you are returning the seconds from MySQL database  assuming you don t need the data in seconds format in your app  there is a much cleaner way to do it  you can use MySQL s SEC TO TIME and it will return time in hh mm ss format   Eg   SELECT SEC TO TIME my seconds field  AS my timestring

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

Here is another way with leading  0  for all of them    secCount   10000   hours   str pad floor  secCount    60 60    2   0   STR PAD LEFT    minutes   str pad floor   secCount -  hours 60 60  60   2   0   STR PAD LEFT    seconds   str pad floor  secCount -   hours 60 60    minutes 60    2   0   STR PAD LEFT     It is an adaptation from the answer of Flaxious

Another solution that will give you the days  hours  minutes  and seconds for a passed-in seconds value   function seconds to time  secs         dt   new DateTime        secs  new DateTimeZone  UTC         return array  days       gt   dt- gt format  z                      hours      gt   dt- gt format  G                      minutes    gt   dt- gt format  i                      seconds    gt   dt- gt format  s        print r seconds to time  seconds value     Extra logic will be needed for  days  if the time is expected to be more than one year  Use str pad   or ltrim   to add remove leading zeros
