Need help time

[mike1313]

Ok say I have a script that runs every 15 mins, 15, 30,45, 0 .how would I calculate the amount of time left until it has to run again with the percent getting higher as it is getting closer to the 15 mins. Say its 1:20 How would I return the percentage of time from 1:20 to 1:30 etc?

echo round(((date("i") % 15) / 15) * 100) . "%";

also from a little tweaking of the above reply, the following could work for your purposes:

// $startMin = the minute at the beginning of the time period

// $endMin = the minute at the end of the time period

 

echo round(((date("i")-$startMin) / ($startMin+15)) * 100) . "%";

 

or

 

echo round(((date("i")-($endMin-15)) / ($endMin)) * 100) . "%";

my bad, my code was wrong before, the following should be correct:

 

// $startMin = the minute at the beginning of the time period

// $endMin = the minute at the end of the time period

 

echo round(((date("i")-$startMin) / 15) * 100) . "%";

 

or

 

echo round(((date("i")-($endMin-15)) / 15) * 100) . "%";
