That's rather simple: echo date(H:i:s,mktime(0,$minutes,0)); -Rasmus On Tue, 17 Jul 2001, John Holcomb wrote: Hello and thank you.

RE: [PHP] Need help with formatting time
Jack Dempsey pressed the little lettered thingies in this order...
$hours = $time / 60;
$minutes = $time % 60;
if($hours = 12){
$meridian = 'pm';
$hours -= 12;
}
else{$meridian = 'am';}
if($hours == 0){$hour = '12';}
echo $hours:$minutes$meridian;
try something like that...haven't tested it, but it should be close...
That's a lot of code!
Use date() and mktime() and PHP will do all of this for you in one line.
See my previous post on the subject. I sent *tested* code that will fit on
a single line and will do exactly what the above is doing.

RE: [PHP] Need help with formatting time
This will convert minutes to hours, then convert
to 12-hour am|pm based time. all hours have 60
minutes. it's simple mathematics to convert.
$m = 780;
$h = 0;
// convert to hours:minutes
while ($m = 60) {
$h++;
$m -= 60;
}
print $h:$m \n;
// convert to 12-hour am|pm
if (!$h) {
$suff = am;
$h = 12;
}
elseif ($h == 12) {
$suff = pm;
}
elseif ($h 12) {
$suff = pm;
$h -= 12;
}
print $h:$m $suff;

Hello and thank you.
I'm trying to find a function(method) or existing
code taht takes the number of minutes that have passed
in a day and returns the time of the day. For
example:
780 minutes == 1pm,
0 minutes == 12am,
etc,etc.
so I'm looking for code that when you enter the number
of minutes, it returns the time of day.
example:
$some_time = foo(780);
print($some_time);
//prints 1:00pm
Thnaks again.

RE: [PHP] Need help with formatting time
Once again, a reminder of the smartest way to code php:
1) think for 2 seconds
2) check out php.net for documentation on functions
3) use a function (or 2) already written instead of spending time
yourself...
