Getting uptime in seconds

[jordanwb]

I know you could do this:

 

$uptime = shell_exec('uptime');

 

But it gives me a really long string and I have to a bunch of formatting. Is it possible - and if so how - to get how long a Unix-based Server has been up in seconds?

So do a bunch of parsing:

<?php
$uptime = shell_exec('uptime');
$up_exp = array_map('trim',explode(',',$uptime));
list(,,$days) = explode(' ',$up_exp[0]);
list($h,$m) = explode(':',$up_exp[1]);
$days_sec = ($days * 86400) + ($h * 3600) + ($m * 60);
echo $days_sec;
?>
