PHP date(): minutes without leading zeros

Question

I\'d like to know if there is a formatting letter for PHP\'s date() that allows me to print minutes without leading zeros, or whether I have to manuall

Answer 1

My solution:

function seconds2string($seconds) {
        if ($seconds == 0) {
            return '-';
        }
        if ($seconds < 60) {
            return date('0:s', $seconds);
        }
        if ($seconds < 3600) {
            return ltrim(date('i:s', $seconds), 0);
        }
        return date('G:i:s', $seconds);
}

This will output:

0 seconds:            -
10 seconds:        0:10
90 seconds:        1:30
301 seconds:       5:01
1804 seconds:     30:04
3601 seconds:   1:00:01
