[SOLVED] How can I calculate hours from minutes

[Space Cowboy]

Hi there,

 

Im creating a job sheet system, where people enter how many minutes they have spent on a job.

The minutes are totaled up and im left with a total like: 465 (minutes).

I need something that will break that down into hours. (465 minutes is equal to 7 hours and 45 mins).

If I try this calculation: 465 / 60 it equals 7.75. It needs to be 7.45 and I cant find the answer anywhere 

 

Any help would be massively appreciated

$totalMinutes = 465;
$hours = (int)($totalMinutes / 60);
$minutes = $totalMinutes % 60;

echo $hours.":".$minutes;

 

not tested, but should work

 

[edit] some ordering in variable names

[Yesideez]

$hours=floor($totalminutes / 60);
$minutes=$totalminutes % 60;

 

If the values don't appear 100% try ceil() instead of floor()
