How to display time in this format?

[bachx]

Hi, I want to print the time in this format:

 

x Hours x Minutes x Seconds

 

Is that possible in the date() function? Or do I need to code it myself?

 

Thanks in advance.

<?php
// I doubt this will work
$time = date("h hours i minutes s seconds", time();
echo $time;

//if not try this.

$time = date("h:i:s", time();
$time = explode(":", $time);
echo $time[0] . " Hours " . $time[1] . " Minutes " . $time[2] . " Seconds";

?>

Neither of those will work when they are both missing a closing paren. The first one won't work (tested), but the 2nd onw will.

 

Here is another option.

<?php
$timeStamp = time(); //Or whatever time you want
echo date('h',$timeStamp) . ' Hours ' . date('i',$timeStamp) . ' Minutes ' . date('s',$timeStamp) . ' Seconds';
?>

 

You can make this a one-liner if you are only showing current time by removing the $timestamp references

<?php
echo date('h') . ' Hours ' . date('i') . ' Minutes ' . date('s') . ' Seconds';
?>

Here:

<?php
echo date('h \h\o\u\r\s i \m\i\n\u\t\e\s s \s\e\c\o\n\d\s');
?>

Ah, I didn't think about escaping the characters. Much more efficient.
