Here's one way: $delta = 264200; $daysPassed = int($delta / 86400); $deltaDays = $delta % 86400; $hoursPassed = int($deltaDays / 3600); $deltaHours = $deltaDays % 3600; $minsPassed = int($deltaHours / 60); $deltaMins = $deltaHours % 60; $secsPassed = $delta; $deltaSecs = $deltaMins % 60;
print "$daysPassed Days, $hoursPassed Hours, $minsPassed Minutes, and $secsPassed Seconds have passed."; That will work up to weeks. If you need to calculate months you will have to look into Date::Manip or Date::Calc. -----Original Message----- From: dan [mailto:perl@;danneh.demon.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 12:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: uptime how may it be possible to say how long it was before a certain time? say for instance i have the variable $starttime = time(); then, later an uptime was called. the time of the uptime being $timenow = time(); $runningtime = $runningtime - $timenow; now i have the amount of time the program has been running in seconds, but how do i convert that to days, hours, mins, secs, etc..? dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
