How to convert seconds to time format? [duplicate]

Answer 1

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'    => $dt->format('z'),
                 'hours'   => $dt->format('G'),
                 'minutes' => $dt->format('i'),
                 'seconds' => $dt->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.
