Question

How do I convert minutes into Hours and Minutes? E.g.

$dt = new DateTime();
$currDate = date_format($dt, 'Y-m-d');

$startMinutes = 939;

$startT = $currDate . " " . gmdate("H:i", $startMinutes);

This code returns something like ‘2012-09-12 00:15’ instead of 15:… Why?

Answer 1

Both the date and gmdate function get seconds as input not minutes. So all you have to do is multiply your startminutes by 60 to get your answer to work.

$startT = $currDate . " " . gmdate("H:i", ($startMinutes * 60));
