Many times it is required for us to calculate the time remaining and display it in a very understandable format like days,weeks,hours etc. Here is a function i wrote to do the same. PHP: //FUNCTION FOR TIME LEFT function time_left($integer) { $seconds=$integer; if ($seconds/60 >=1) { $minutes=floor($seconds/60); if ($minutes/60 >= 1) { # Hours $hours=floor($minutes/60); if ($hours/24 >= 1) { #days $days=floor($hours/24); if ($days/7 >=1) { #weeks $weeks=floor($days/7); if ($weeks>=2) $return="$weeks Weeks"; else $return="$weeks Week"; } #end of weeks $days=$days-(floor($days/7))*7; if ($weeks>=1 && $days >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($days >=2) $return="$return $days days"; if ($days ==1) $return="$return $days day"; } #end of days $hours=$hours-(floor($hours/24))*24; if ($days>=1 && $hours >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($hours >=2) $return="$return $hours hours"; if ($hours ==1) $return="$return $hours hour"; } #end of Hours $minutes=$minutes-(floor($minutes/60))*60; if ($hours>=1 && $minutes >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($minutes >=2) $return="$return $minutes minutes"; if ($minutes ==1) $return="$return $minutes minute"; } #end of minutes $seconds=$integer-(floor($integer/60))*60; if ($minutes>=1 && $seconds >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($seconds >=2) $return="$return $seconds seconds"; if ($seconds ==1) $return="$return $seconds second"; $return="$return."; return $return; } /* Returns a string of the amount of time the integer (in seconds) refers to. $timeleft=time_left(86400); $timeleft='1 day'. Will not return anything higher than weeks. False if $integer=0 or fails. */ Enjoy.
Thank you for this very useful piece of code. I had to make 2 small adjustments resulting from the php settings of my server. PHP: /** * FUNCTION FOR TIME LEFT * Returns a string of the amount of time the integer (in seconds) refers to. * $timeleft = time_left(86400); * $timeleft = '1 day'; * Will not return anything higher than weeks. False if $integer=0 or fails. * @author pradeep */ function time_left($integer) { $seconds=$integer; if ($seconds/60 >=1) { $minutes=floor($seconds/60); if ($minutes/60 >= 1) { # Hours $hours=floor($minutes/60); if ($hours/24 >= 1) { #days $days=floor($hours/24); $weeks=floor($days/7);#moved here form "if ($days/7 >=1)"statement if ($days/7 >=1) { #weeks if ($weeks>=2) $return="$weeks Weeks"; else $return="$weeks Week"; } #end of weeks $days=$days-(floor($days/7))*7; $return="";#added if ($weeks>=1 && $days >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($days >=2) $return="$return $days days"; if ($days ==1) $return="$return $days day"; } #end of days $hours=$hours-(floor($hours/24))*24; if ($days>=1 && $hours >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($hours >=2) $return="$return $hours hours"; if ($hours ==1) $return="$return $hours hour"; } #end of Hours $minutes=$minutes-(floor($minutes/60))*60; if ($hours>=1 && $minutes >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($minutes >=2) $return="$return $minutes minutes"; if ($minutes ==1) $return="$return $minutes minute"; } #end of minutes $seconds=$integer-(floor($integer/60))*60; if ($minutes>=1 && $seconds >=1) $return="$return, "; if ($seconds >=2) $return="$return $seconds seconds"; if ($seconds ==1) $return="$return $seconds second"; $return="$return."; return $return; }
