Thanks Thomas,
So I ended up with view helper "Duration".
class My_View_Helper_Duration extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
/**
* Get duration in minutes and seconds
*
* @param int $seconds Seconds
* @return string Duration
*/
public function duration($seconds)
{
$seconds = Zend_Filter::get($seconds, "Int");
$date = new Zend_Date($seconds, Zend_Date::SECOND);
return $this->view->translate("duration-%d-%d",
$date->toString("mm"),
$date->toString("ss"));
}
}
Where I get string "4 min 12 s" for example.
br, Marko
