Convert minutes to time 'h:m:s'

Question

I wonder if there is a function in php or codeigniter which can do this :

function transformTime($min)
{
    $min=(int)$min;
    $heure=(int)($min/60);
    $minute=(($min/60)-$heure)*60;


    return $heure .':' . $minute . ':00'; 
}

I want convert x minutes to a time format.

Why do you wonder if there is a function in PHP that does what you already have a function for? — slhck, Dec 08 '13 at 12:00

Do something like this

<?php

function transformTime($min)
{
$ctime = DateTime::createFromFormat('i', $min);
$ntime= $ctime->format('H:i:s');
return $ntime;
}

echo transformTime(60); // "Prints" 01:00:00

It seems i can't use DateTime .. Do i need include something ? – Choubidou Dec 08 '13 at 12:09
Nope nothing ought to be included. This is shipped with PHP. Version supported is PHP 5 >= 5.2.0. – Shankar Narayana Damodaran Dec 08 '13 at 13:39

You are almost there, just format the output with sprintf() or str_pad():

function transformTime($min)
{
    $hour = floor($min / 60);
    $min -= $hour * 60;
    return sprintf('%02d:%02d:00', $hour, $min);
}
