Try this function. It takes as attributes, days, hours, minutes, seconds
in that order. But you can call it in the following ways. (The last one
is the one you want):
timespanformat(days, hours, minutes, seconds)
timespanformat(hours, minutes, seconds)
timespanformat minutes, seconds)
timespanformat(seconds)
<cfscript>
function timespanFormat() {
var days = 0;
var hours = 0;
var minutes = 0;
var seconds = 0;
var timespan = 0;
var result = "";
if ( arrayLen(arguments) gt 0 ) {
seconds = arguments[arrayLen(arguments)];
if ( arrayLen(arguments) gt 1 ) {
minutes = arguments[arrayLen(arguments)
- 1];
if ( arrayLen(arguments) gt 2 ) {
hours =
arguments[arrayLen(arguments) - 2];
if ( arrayLen(arguments) gt 3 )
days =
arguments[arrayLen(arguments) - 3];
}
}
}
timespan = ((days * 24 + hours) * 60 + minutes) * 60 +
seconds;
seconds = timespan mod 60;
timespan = timespan \ 60;
minutes = timespan mod 60;
timespan = timespan \ 60;
hours = timespan mod 24;
timespan = timespan \ 24;
days = timespan;
if ( days )
if ( days eq 1 )
result = "1 day";
else
result = days & " days";
if ( hours )
if ( hours eq 1 )
result = listAppend(result, "1 hour");
else
result = listAppend(result, hours & "
hours");
if ( minutes )
if ( minutes eq 1 )
result = listAppend(result, "1 minute");
else
result = listAppend(result, minutes & "
minutes");
if ( seconds )
if ( seconds eq 1 )
result = listAppend(result, "1 second");
else
result = listAppend(result, seconds & "
seconds");
return listChangeDelims(result, ", ");
}
