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

A simple way to use DateTime for this is:

    $time = 60; //sec.
    $now = time();
    $rep = new DateTime('@'.$now);
    $diff = new DateTime('@'.($now+$time));
    $return = $diff->diff($rep)->format($format);

    //output:  01:04:65

It's a simple solution wich gives you the ability to use the format Method of DateTime.
