Re: [PHP] Displaying 2 digit minutes/seconds

You can use sprintf or str_pad to fill in with zeros, with sprintf you
can do this:

echo sprintf('%02d', 5);

That will print the string 05.

 Hi all,

        I'm using this code to display the current time for our location on
 our website:

 ?php
        date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
        $theTimeIs = getdate(time());
            $theHour = $theTimeIs['hours'];
            $theMinute = $theTimeIs['minutes'];  // make minutes under 10
 show two digits
            $theSecond = $theTimeIs['seconds'];
        if($theHour  12){
            $theHour = $theHour - 12;
            $dn = PM;
        } else {
            $dn = AM;
        }

 echo $theHour:$theMinute:$theSecond $dn;
 ?

        It works great except for one small detail.  If the time is 3:04:02,
 it is displayed as 3:4:2 which, of course, is very odd looking.  So I
 corrected it as follows:

 ?php
        date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
        $theTimeIs = getdate(time());
            $theHour = $theTimeIs['hours'];
            if (strlen ($theTimeIs['minutes'])  2) {
                                $theMinute = 0 . $theTimeIs['minutes'];
                                } else {
                                $theMinute = $theTimeIs['minutes'];
                                }
            if (strlen ($theTimeIs['seconds'])  2) {
                                $theSecond = 0 . $theTimeIs['seconds'];
                                } else {
                                $theSecond = $theTimeIs['seconds'];
                                }
        if($theHour  12){
            $theHour = $theHour - 12;
            $dn = PM;
        } else {
            $dn = AM;
        }

 echo $theHour:$theMinute:$theSecond $dn;
 ?

        It works, but is there a better way to do it?

 Thanks,
 Frank

What's wrong with using the date() function? You can have it output any
sort of format you wish. So, getting a 2 digit time in
hours:minutes:seconds you would put:

date(H:i:s);

	Thanks, Ash.  I had tried that before but I couldn't find a way to  
make it display in 12 hour time, so I went with the other method.  I  
guess I didn't look hard enough. =;)


This works:

echo (date(g:i A));

	Thanks, Jonathan!  I learned two new functions today!  Both work  
great but I think I like sprintf for this application better since  
it's more succinct.


echo sprintf('%02d', $theMinute);

echo (str_pad($theMinute,2,0,STR_PAD_LEFT));

Uh. If you MUST do this nonsense, then at least do this instead and not
echo sprintf:

printf('%02d', $theMinute);
