Question

I have a $_POST ($_POST[‘durationChosen’]) which is a time and its format is ’00 Hrs 00 Mins 00 Secs’. Now I still want to display this format in the textbox but on the next page I want $_POST[‘durationChosen’] I want the format to be ’00:00:00′. How can I do this?

An example is in the textbox I have ’01 Hrs 30 Mins 15 Secs’ but in next page I want it formatted so its ’01:30:15′. Can this be done?

Answer 1

Try this:

<?php

  $array = sscanf($_POST['durationChosen'], "%u %s %u %s %u %s");

  $time = date('H:i:s', strtotime($array[0] . ':' . $array[2] . ':' . $array[4]));

Edit to reflect comment of acceptance below:

<?php

      $time = str_replace(array(' Hrs ', ' Mins ', ' Secs'), array(':', ':', ''), $_POST['durationChosen']);
