Hi Paul,
Try this out.
function duration($amount)
{
$seconds = $amount % 60;
if ($seconds < 10) { $seconds = "0".$seconds; }
$minutes = (($amount - $seconds) / 60) % 60;
if ($minutes < 10) { $minutes = "0".$minutes; }
$hours = ($amount - ($minutes * 60) - $seconds) / 3600;
$duration = $hours.":".$minutes.":".$seconds;
echo $duration;
}
duration($nameofvariableholdingsecondshere);
The if statements are just to pretty it up and put some leading 0's in if
needed. If you didn't want to actually echo it, you could modify it to
return the values instead, which you can then manipulate however you needed
to. There may be an even more streamlined way, but I just came up with
that, so there ya go. :)
