PHP auto truncates my zeros

[xnowandtheworldx]

On my website for users to upload their gaming videos, when i'm formatting the seconds into minutes when there is a 0 in the duration for some reason it gets truncated and i've scoured the internet and found nothing....

 

i've tried (int) and intval() so any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

$mins = floor($duration_first / 60);
$secs = $duration_first % 60;
$duration = $mins.":".$secs;

 

and then i store it in a table as varchar

you could also just use gdate() like:

 

$duration = gdate("H:i",strtotime($duration_first));

That'll do the time.  Here's an example of forcing it to leave the leading zeros (would be useful if you're not working with dates).  I thought I'd go ahead and post it anyway seeing as I was already to post it anyway.

http://us3.php.net/sprintf

$mins = floor($duration_first / 60);
$secs = $duration_first % 60;
$duration = sprintf("%02d:%02d", $mins, $secs);

Thanks for both of those solutions guys! I never even thought of forcing the zeros with the gdate function either, but once again thanks to both of your solutions!
