tjverge Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I found this function and take no credit for it, I'm trying to get it to show HH:MM:SS when I have the total number of seconds, but nothing is showing on the screen function sec2hms ($sec, $padHours = false) { // start with a blank string $hms = ""; // do the hours first: there are 3600 seconds in an hour, so if we divide // the total number of seconds by 3600 and throw away the remainder, we're // left with the number of hours in those seconds $hours = intval(intval($sec) / 3600); // add hours to $hms (with a leading 0 if asked for) $hms .= ($padHours) ? str_pad($hours, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT). ":" : $hours. ":"; // dividing the total seconds by 60 will give us the number of minutes // in total, but we're interested in *minutes past the hour* and to get // this, we have to divide by 60 again and then use the remainder $minutes = intval(($sec / 60) % 60); // add minutes to $hms (with a leading 0 if needed) $hms .= str_pad($minutes, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT). ":"; // seconds past the minute are found by dividing the total number of seconds // by 60 and using the remainder $seconds = intval($sec % 60); // add seconds to $hms (with a leading 0 if needed) $hms .= str_pad($seconds, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); // done! return $hms; } The part of the code to show the data is below: while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $sec = time() - strtotime($row['starttime']); echo $sec; // print to screen to make sure $sec had a value sec2hms($sec); } Any guidance on where I went wrong?

BlueSkyIS Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 you need to echo the return value. echo sec2hms($sec); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
