Question

Can anyone help me to get hour, minutes, seconds from this code:

<strong class="countdown">                 23:16:27</strong>

I have tried with this code to get data:

$r = sscanf($str, "%f,%f,%f", $hour, $minutes, $secundes);

How to parse this countdown timer with regex or something else, and put into $hour, $minutes, $seconds? (sorry for my English)

Answer 1

if (preg_match('/[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}/i', $str, $m)) {
    $hours = $m[1];
    $minutes = $m[2];
    $seconds = $m[3];
}
