seconds to minutes and days to weeks

I wonder how I can convert this value to minutes and seconds: 292.96. The value is from this API from Spotify.

Thanks in advance!

@Pekka: I don't know but I think the value is in seconds, yes :) — Airikr, Mar 13 '12 at 21:53

Yes, the value is in seconds, so very simple;

int minutes = val / 60;
int seconds = val % 60;

I like people who use the modulus operator for things like that! Therefore vote up. – hotS85 Mar 13 '12 at 21:59

$time = 292.96;
$minutes = floor( $time / 60);
$seconds = $time - ($minutes * 60); // Can add floor() or do mod (%) to round
echo $minutes . ' ' . $seconds; // 4 minutes 52.96 seconds
