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;
}

其他解决方案使用gmdate，但在超过86400秒的边缘情况下会失败。为了解决这个问题，我们可以自己简单地计算小时数，然后让gmdate将剩余的秒计算为分/秒。

echo floor($seconds / 3600) . gmdate(":i:s", $seconds % 3600);

输入:6030 输出:1:40:30

输入:2000006030 输出:555557:13:50

给你

function format_time($t,$f=':') // t = seconds, f = separator 
{
  return sprintf("%02d%s%02d%s%02d", floor($t/3600), $f, ($t/60)%60, $f, $t%60);
}

echo format_time(685); // 00:11:25

// 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

我需要一种能将秒缩短为小时、分钟和秒，但能超过24小时，而不是进一步缩短为天的东西。

这是一个简单的函数。你也许可以改进它……但它在这里:

function formatSeconds($seconds)
{
    $hours = 0;$minutes = 0;
    while($seconds >= 60){$seconds -= 60;$minutes++;}
    while($minutes >= 60){$minutes -=60;$hours++;}
    $hours = str_pad($hours, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
    $minutes = str_pad($minutes, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
    $seconds = str_pad($seconds, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
    return $hours.":".$minutes.":".$seconds;
}

一小时是3600秒，一分钟是60秒，为什么不呢?

<?php

$init = 685;
$hours = floor($init / 3600);
$minutes = floor(($init / 60) % 60);
$seconds = $init % 60;

echo "$hours:$minutes:$seconds";

?>

生产:

$ php file.php
0:11:25

(我没有测试这么多，所以地板可能会有错误)
