如果你不喜欢公认的答案或流行的答案，那么试试这个

function secondsToTime($seconds_time)
{
    if ($seconds_time < 24 * 60 * 60) {
        return gmdate('H:i:s', $seconds_time);
    } else {
        $hours = floor($seconds_time / 3600);
        $minutes = floor(($seconds_time - $hours * 3600) / 60);
        $seconds = floor($seconds_time - ($hours * 3600) - ($minutes * 60));
        return "$hours:$minutes:$seconds";
    }
}

secondsToTime(108620); // 30:10:20

这是一种很好的方法:

function time_converter($sec_time, $format='h:m:s'){
      $hour = intval($sec_time / 3600) >= 10 ? intval($sec_time / 3600) : '0'.intval($sec_time / 3600);
      $minute = intval(($sec_time % 3600) / 60) >= 10 ? intval(($sec_time % 3600) / 60) : '0'.intval(($sec_time % 3600) / 60);
      $sec = intval(($sec_time % 3600) % 60)  >= 10 ? intval(($sec_time % 3600) % 60) : '0'.intval(($sec_time % 3600) % 60);

      $format = str_replace('h', $hour, $format);
      $format = str_replace('m', $minute, $format);
      $format = str_replace('s', $sec, $format);

      return $format;
    }

任何人在未来寻找这个，这给了最初的海报要求的格式。

$init = 685;
$hours = floor($init / 3600);
$hrlength=strlen($hours);
if ($hrlength==1) {$hrs="0".$hours;}
else {$hrs=$hours;} 

$minutes = floor(($init / 60) % 60);
$minlength=strlen($minutes);
if ($minlength==1) {$mins="0".$minutes;}
else {$mins=$minutes;} 

$seconds = $init % 60;
$seclength=strlen($seconds);
if ($seclength==1) {$secs="0".$seconds;}
else {$secs=$seconds;} 

echo "$hrs:$mins:$secs";

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;
}

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;}

写这样的函数返回一个数组

function secondsToTime($seconds) {

  // extract hours
  $hours = floor($seconds / (60 * 60));

  // extract minutes
  $divisor_for_minutes = $seconds % (60 * 60);
  $minutes = floor($divisor_for_minutes / 60);

  // extract the remaining seconds
  $divisor_for_seconds = $divisor_for_minutes % 60;
  $seconds = ceil($divisor_for_seconds);

  // return the final array
  $obj = array(
      "h" => (int) $hours,
      "m" => (int) $minutes,
      "s" => (int) $seconds,
   );

  return $obj;
}

然后像这样简单地调用函数:

secondsToTime(100);

输出是

Array ( [h] => 0 [m] => 1 [s] => 40 )
