Format time to one digit

Question

$value = 90;
echo gmdate("i:s", $value)."<br>";

the output is: 01:30

How do I format:

 1:30

@Jack This question is dealing with `gmdate` and has a second component, which does not make it an *exact* duplicate. — Kermit, Mar 22 '13 at 14:51
`gmdate()` or `date()` is the same thing; regardless, the referenced question covers the same grounds. — Ja͢ck, Mar 22 '13 at 15:02

The i character refers to minutes with leading zeros. You can use intval to remove the leading zeros:

echo intval(gmdate("i", $value)) . gmdate(":s", $value)  . "<br />";

From the box of trickses:

$str = '01:30';

echo substr_replace($str, '', 0, min(1, strspn($str, '0')));

Try gmdate("g:s",$value)) (or capital G for 24-hour format)

See all your formatting options: PHP date formatting

`g` refers to hour. OP is asking for `i` (minutes). – Kermit Mar 22 '13 at 14:52
