Converting Seconds to HH:MM:SS
I have an integer as a number of seconds. I want to convert that integer into into hours/minutes/seconds like this:
1:45:32
If the number of seconds equates to less than one hour then it should return the string:
45:32
If the number of minutes is less than 10 it should return the string formatted like this:
3:25
And finally if the number of seconds equate to less than 1 minute, it should return the following:
0:04
What is the best way to do this in PHP?
The simpelst approch would be
if($seconds < 3600){
$format = 'i:s';
}else{
$format = 'G:i:s';
}
echo date($format, $seconds);
EDIT: this wouldnt fix your minutes < 10 problem. you could handle the minutes by itself. like
$time = ($seconds >= 3600) ? date('G', $seconds).':' : '';
$time .= intval(date('i',$seconds)).':'.date('s', $seconds);
<?php
$seconds = (1*60 + 45)*60 + 32; // 1:45:32
define("SECONDS_IN_HOUR", 3600);
define("SECONDS_IN_MINUTE", 60);
// hours
if ($seconds >= SECONDS_IN_HOUR)
{
print floor($seconds/SECONDS_IN_HOUR) . ":";
$seconds = $seconds % SECONDS_IN_HOUR;
}
// minutes
if ($seconds >= SECONDS_IN_MINUTE)
{
print floor($seconds/SECONDS_IN_MINUTE) . ":";
$seconds = $seconds % SECONDS_IN_MINUTE;
}
// seconds
print $seconds;
?>
function formatHMS($time) {
$s = $time % 60;
$time= floor($time/60);
$m = $time % 60;
$time= floor($time/60);
$h = floor($time);
$str = $s;
if ($m>0)
$str = "$m:$str";
if ($h>0)
$str = "$h:$str";
return $str;
}
I think Rufinus is pretty close:
foreach(array(60 => ' 0:s', 3600 => 'i:s', 'G:i:s') as $val => $format)
{
if ($seconds < $val) break;
}
echo ltrim(ltrim(gmdate($format, $seconds), '0'), ' ');
This variant uses a configuration stored inside an array which associates a format string based on a time value in seconds (as key). The last element is the default format that will fall through.
Edit: Unfortunately there is no formatting code in date
that allows to specify minutes w/o a leading there. Therefore the date string needs to be re-formatted to remove leading 0's occasionally. It's done with ltrim
here.
