Question

I have a variable $route->flighttime which echoes numbers in the following format…

0.5
1.2
1.45

How do I convert it to display HH:MM using echo?

Note: 0.5 is treated by the CMS as 50 minutes for some reason.

Answer 1

Based on OPs comments about the format of his initial time (where .5 is actually 50 minutes), a solution without any math

$time = floatval($route->flighttime);
echo number_format($time,2,':',null);
