仅当秒数小于86400(1天)时使用函数gmdate():

$seconds = 8525;
echo gmdate('H:i:s', $seconds);
# 02:22:05

参见： gmdate（）

将秒转换为“脚”格式无限制*:

$seconds = 8525;
$H = floor($seconds / 3600);
$i = ($seconds / 60) % 60;
$s = $seconds % 60;
echo sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $H, $i, $s);
# 02:22:05

参见:floor()， sprintf()，算术运算符

DateTime扩展的示例使用:

$seconds = 8525;
$zero    = new DateTime("@0");
$offset  = new DateTime("@$seconds");
$diff    = $zero->diff($offset);
echo sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $diff->days * 24 + $diff->h, $diff->i, $diff->s);
# 02:22:05

参见:DateTime::__construct()， DateTime::modify()， clone， sprintf ()

MySQL示例的结果范围被限制为TIME数据类型，从-838:59:59到838:59:59:

SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(8525);
# 02:22:05

PostgreSQL的例子:

SELECT TO_CHAR('8525 second'::interval, 'HH24:MI:SS');
# 02:22:05

以防其他人正在寻找一个简单的函数来返回格式化良好的格式(我知道这不是OP要求的格式)，这就是我刚刚想到的。感谢@mughal的代码，这是基于。

function format_timer_result($time_in_seconds){
    $time_in_seconds = ceil($time_in_seconds);

    // Check for 0
    if ($time_in_seconds == 0){
        return 'Less than a second';
    }

    // Days
    $days = floor($time_in_seconds / (60 * 60 * 24));
    $time_in_seconds -= $days * (60 * 60 * 24);

    // Hours
    $hours = floor($time_in_seconds / (60 * 60));
    $time_in_seconds -= $hours * (60 * 60);

    // Minutes
    $minutes = floor($time_in_seconds / 60);
    $time_in_seconds -= $minutes * 60;

    // Seconds
    $seconds = floor($time_in_seconds);

    // Format for return
    $return = '';
    if ($days > 0){
        $return .= $days . ' day' . ($days == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ';
    }
    if ($hours > 0){
        $return .= $hours . ' hour' . ($hours == 1 ? '' : 's') . ' ';
    }
    if ($minutes > 0){
        $return .= $minutes . ' minute' . ($minutes == 1 ? '' : 's') . ' ';
    }
    if ($seconds > 0){
        $return .= $seconds . ' second' . ($seconds == 1 ? '' : 's') . ' ';
    }
    $return = trim($return);

    return $return;
}

// TEST
// 1 Day 6 Hours 50 Minutes 31 Seconds ~ 111031 seconds

$time = 111031; // time duration in seconds

$days = floor($time / (60 * 60 * 24));
$time -= $days * (60 * 60 * 24);

$hours = floor($time / (60 * 60));
$time -= $hours * (60 * 60);

$minutes = floor($time / 60);
$time -= $minutes * 60;

$seconds = floor($time);
$time -= $seconds;

echo "{$days}d {$hours}h {$minutes}m {$seconds}s"; // 1d 6h 50m 31s

如果你需要在javascript中做到这一点，你可以在这里回答的一行代码中做到这一点，用javascript将秒转换为HH-MM-SS。用您想要转换的内容替换SECONDS。

var time = new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8);

这个函数是有用的，你可以扩展它:

function formatSeconds($seconds) {

if(!is_integer($seconds)) {
    return FALSE;
}

$fmt = "";

$days = floor($seconds / 86400);
if($days) {
    $fmt .= $days."D ";
    $seconds %= 86400;
}

$hours = floor($seconds / 3600);
if($hours) {
    $fmt .= str_pad($hours, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT).":";
    $seconds %= 3600;
}

$mins = floor($seconds / 60 );
if($mins) {
    $fmt .= str_pad($mins, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT).":";
    $seconds %= 60;
}

$fmt .= str_pad($seconds, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);

return $fmt;}

<?php
$time=3*3600 + 30*60;


$year=floor($time/(365*24*60*60));
$time-=$year*(365*24*60*60);

$month=floor($time/(30*24*60*60));
$time-=$month*(30*24*60*60);

$day=floor($time/(24*60*60));
$time-=$day*(24*60*60);

$hour=floor($time/(60*60));
$time-=$hour*(60*60);

$minute=floor($time/(60));
$time-=$minute*(60);

$second=floor($time);
$time-=$second;
if($year>0){
    echo $year." year, ";
}
if($month>0){
    echo $month." month, ";
}
if($day>0){
    echo $day." day, ";
}
if($hour>0){
    echo $hour." hour, ";
}
if($minute>0){
    echo $minute." minute, ";
}
if($second>0){
    echo $second." second, ";
}
