[PHP] A better way to do this in php???

[bclem]

I need to find the exact time of day using "minutes since midnight".

What is the easiest and/or better way to do this in php?

This is how I'm doing it now.

// $iMinutes is the total number of minutes since midnight/12am
// 0 = midnight/12am
// 1439 = 11:59pm

$iMinutes = 1230;

if ($iMinutes < 0 || $iMinutes > 1439) {
        $restime = "??:??";
} else {
        $iHour = $iMinutes / 60;
        $iMins = ($iMinutes - (60*$iHour)) % 60;

        if ($iHour <= 12) {
                $restime .= $iHour . ":";
        } else {
                $restime .= $iHour-12 . ":";
        }

        if ($iMins < 10) {
                $restime .= "0" . $iMins;
        } else {
                $restime .= $iMins;
        }
        if ($iHour < 12) {
                $restime .= " a.m.";
        } else if ($iHour==12 && $iMins==0) {
                $restime .= " noon";
        } else {
                $restime .= " pm";
        }
}


Thanks, Brent
