Time output from function

[EchoFool]

Is there any premade functions that change input of an integer in to a string of values like:

 

Years : Months : Weeks : Days : Hours : Minutes

 

Say the input was 120 minutes.... then the output would come out as

 

Hours 2

 

But then if you had 1440 minutes it'll return

 

1 Day

 

 

Or will i have to make the function?

You'd most likely have to make the function. You could cheat with the strftime function, but it wouldn't work well. The function would be pretty simple:

 

function time_f($minutes)
{ 
      $output = ''
      $min = $minutes % 60; //Get the minutes 0-59
      if($min) $output .= $min . ' minutes';
      $hours = intval($minutes/60);
      if($hours % 24) $output .= $hours % 24 . ' hours';
      $days = intval($hours/24);
      if($days % 356) $output .= $days % 356 . ' days';
      $years = intval($days/356);
      if($years) $output .= $years . ' years';

     return $output;
}

 

Sometime like that is a rough start
