php - Convert seconds into days, hours, minutes and seconds

Question

I would like to convert a variable $uptime which is seconds, into days, hours, minutes and seconds.

Example:

$uptime = 1640467;

Result should be:

18 days 23 hours 41 minutes

Answer 1

This can be achieved with DateTime class

Function:

function secondsToTime($seconds) {
    $dtF = new DateTime('@0');
    $dtT = new DateTime("@$seconds");
    return $dtF->diff($dtT)->format('%a days, %h hours, %i minutes and %s seconds');
}

Use:

echo secondsToTime(1640467);
# 18 days, 23 hours, 41 minutes and 7 seconds
