How to convert minutes to hours, minutes and seconds format in php

In PHP, you can use the date() and mktime() functions to convert minutes into hours, minutes and seconds. The date() function formats a timestamp into a readable time, while the mktime() function returns a Unix timestamp for a given date component.

The following is the code implementation for converting minutes into hours, minutes and seconds:

function convertToTime($minutes) {
    $hours = floor($minutes / 60);
    $mins = $minutes % 60;
    return str_pad($hours,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT)
            .":".str_pad($mins,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT)
            .":00";
}

In this function, we use the floor() function to calculate the hours and the modulo operator to get the remaining Minutes. Finally, we use the str_pad() function to convert both the hours and minutes into two numbers to prevent numbers less than 10 from losing leading zeros.

For example, if we want to convert 135 minutes to hours, minutes and seconds format, we can call the above function:

echo convertToTime(135); // 输出 02:15:00

This function is very simple and easy to use and can be easily integrated into in your code.

At the same time, we can also use the date() function to format the Unix timestamp into hours, minutes and seconds format. For the number of minutes we need to convert, we can convert it to seconds and pass it to the date() function. The following is the code that uses the date() function to convert 135 minutes into hours, minutes and seconds:

echo date('H:i:s',strtotime("135 minutes")); // 输出 02:15:00

This method is not implemented using a custom function, but it consumes server performance because it requires first The timestamp is parsed into date, time and time zone and then formatted into a string.

To sum up, we can find that using a custom function to achieve this conversion is more efficient and more readable.
