Convert seconds to Hour:Minute:Second

Question

I need to convert seconds to \"Hour:Minute:Second\".

For example: \"685\" converted to \"00:11:25\"

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

The gmtdate() function didn't work for me as I was tracking hours worked on a project and if it's over 24 hours, you get amount left over after 24 hours is subtracted. In other words 37 hours becomes 13 hours. (all as stated above by Glavic - thanks for your examples!) This one worked well:

Convert seconds to format by 'foot' no limit :
$seconds = 8525;
$H = floor($seconds / 3600);
$i = ($seconds / 60) % 60;
$s = $seconds % 60;
echo sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $H, $i, $s);
# 02:22:05
