divide result by 60

[flemingmike]

hello, how can i take a result in seconds and turn it into minutes?

 

i get the result from xml:

 

    $length = $tracks->track->length;

[mattal999]

function decodeTime($seconds) {
    $mins = floor($seconds / 60);
    $secs = floor($seconds - ($mins * 60));
    if(strlen($secs) == 1) $secs = "0".$secs;
    return $mins.":".$secs;
}

$length = decodeTime($tracks->track->length);

OR if you just want a decimal:

 

$length = $tracks->track->length / 60;

thanks, i would never haver figured that out.  i had it with the /60, but thats ugly.

 

i have an update button, is there any way i can update just the field that are from the xml file, or do i have to refresh the whole page?  im more of a vb6 guy, and its much easier in there.

 

here is my code:

 

<?php

include("style.php");

$hmm = simplexml_load_file('http://www.durhamit.ca:8181/1.0/?method=player.GetNowPlayingData');

foreach ($hmm->tracks as $tracks) {
    $artist = $tracks->track->artist;
    $title = $tracks->track->title;
    $album = $tracks->track->album;


    
}


function decodeTime($seconds) {    
$mins = floor($seconds / 60);    
$secs = floor($seconds - ($mins * 60));    
if(strlen($secs) == 1) $secs = "0".$secs;    
return $mins.":".$secs;

}

$length = decodeTime($tracks->track->length);

I'm not sure what you're doing with this here.  You are looping through an entire array just to populate a variable with what will end up being the last entry in the array.

[flemingmike]

there is only a single entry from the array, so this is all i need/know how to do it.

[ignace]

function decodeTime($seconds) {
    $mins = floor($seconds / 60);
    $secs = floor($seconds - ($mins * 60));
    if(strlen($secs) == 1) $secs = "0".$secs;
    return $mins.":".$secs;
}

$length = decodeTime($tracks->track->length);

OR if you just want a decimal:

 

$length = $tracks->track->length / 60;

 

echo date('i', $seconds), ' Minutes';
