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;}

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

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（）

运行Demo

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

运行Demo

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 ()

运行Demo

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

看:SEC_TO_TIME

运行Demo

PostgreSQL的例子:

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

这段代码尽可能地避免了乏味的函数调用和逐条的字符串构建，以及人们为此而创建的大而笨重的函数。

它返回格式为“1h05m00s”的输出，并使用前导零表示分和秒，只要在它们之前有另一个非零时间组件。

它还跳过所有空的前导组件，以避免给你无用的信息，如“0h00m01s”(相反，它将显示为“1s”)。

示例结果：“1s”、“1m00s”、“19m08s”、“1h00m00s”、“4h08m39s”。

$duration = 1; // values 0 and higher are supported!
$converted = [
    'hours' => floor( $duration / 3600 ),
    'minutes' => floor( ( $duration / 60 ) % 60 ),
    'seconds' => ( $duration % 60 )
];
$result = ltrim( sprintf( '%02dh%02dm%02ds', $converted['hours'], $converted['minutes'], $converted['seconds'] ), '0hm' );
if( $result == 's' ) { $result = '0s'; }

如果你想让代码更短(但可读性更差)，你可以避免$转换数组，而是直接将值放在sprintf()调用中，如下所示:

$duration = 1; // values 0 and higher are supported!
$result = ltrim( sprintf( '%02dh%02dm%02ds', floor( $duration / 3600 ), floor( ( $duration / 60 ) % 60 ), ( $duration % 60 ) ), '0hm' );
if( $result == 's' ) { $result = '0s'; }

在上面的两个代码段中，持续时间必须为0或更高。不支持负持续时间。但是你可以使用下面的代码来处理负持续时间:

$duration = -493; // negative values are supported!
$wasNegative = FALSE;
if( $duration < 0 ) { $wasNegative = TRUE; $duration = abs( $duration ); }
$converted = [
    'hours' => floor( $duration / 3600 ),
    'minutes' => floor( ( $duration / 60 ) % 60 ),
    'seconds' => ( $duration % 60 )
];
$result = ltrim( sprintf( '%02dh%02dm%02ds', $converted['hours'], $converted['minutes'], $converted['seconds'] ), '0hm' );
if( $result == 's' ) { $result = '0s'; }
if( $wasNegative ) { $result = "-{$result}"; }
// $result is now "-8m13s"
