I want to convert the time which I got from $scheduleTime = Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->toTimeString(); which is currently giving me 07:32:40 now I want to convert it into seconds only using Carbon library is this possible to do so if yes then how?

  • If I understood you correctly, you want to get unix timestamp format? If that's the case just append `->timestamp` like `Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->timestamp;` – b0ne May 17 '17 at 07:40

  • Change `->toTimeString()` to `->format('s')` – aldrin27 May 17 '17 at 07:42

well, its there in carbon itself just use secondsSinceMidnight() and you are good to go.

 $scheduleTimeSeconds = Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->secondsSinceMidnight();

you could use 

$scheduleTime =\Carbon\Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->diffInMinutes()

to display the time in minute or 

$scheduleTime =\Carbon\Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->diffInSeconds()

to display it in second

private function convertTimeToSecond(string $time): int
{
    $d = explode(':', $time);
    return ($d[0] * 3600) + ($d[1] * 60) + $d[2];
}

Example, after 2 year...

You can try this it will return only the seconds

$scheduleTime =\Carbon\Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->second; or

$scheduleTime =\Carbon\Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)-> diffInSeconds();

Try this, 

$scheduleTime = Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($scheduleTimestamp)->toTimeString();

$sec = preg_replace("/^([\d]{1,2})\:([\d]{2})$/", "00:$1:$2", $scheduleTime);

sscanf($sec, "%d:%d:%d", $hours, $minutes, $seconds);

$time_seconds = $hours * 3600 + $minutes * 60 + $seconds;
