Question

$arr = explode(':', $row['diff']);
echo "$arr[0] minutes, $arr[1] seconds";

Array is outputting: Array00 hours, 20 minutes, when it should be outputting: [x] hours, [x] minutes. ONLY IF there are >= 1 hour

This is in the SQL:

TIMEDIFF(now(), listDT) as diff

Is there someway to show, just minutes, if the output is like 0 hours, 22 minutes? Why is Array in front? Can I remove it? How?

foreach($result as $row)
        { 

        echo "<div class='listing'>";
            print $row['uUName'] . '</strong><br />' .
            '<strong>' . $row['listTitle'] . '</strong><br />' .
            $arr = explode(':', $row['diff']);
            echo "{$arr[0]} minutes, {$arr[1]} seconds";
        echo "</div>";
        }

This STILL outputs: Array00 hours, 31 minutes for example. How do I get it to look like:

00 hours, 31 minutes 

or

(ideally, if hours is 0) 31 minutes

Answer 1

Add braces so that your array vars can be properly interpreted. Like this:

echo "{$arr[0]} minutes, {$arr[1]} seconds"; 

ETA

leaving out the parts that equal zero means looping through the array and asking if the array needs to be output or not.

$map=array_combine(array('hours','minutes','seconds'),$arr);//so each part knows its name
$filtred=array_filter($map);//get rid of 0 values
foreach($filtred as $name=>$num){
  echo "$num $name ";
}
