Question

If I’ve got a value in a variable eg 10.2333 and I need to use the 23 of the .2333 how do i do that? For more information, I am working out a time difference:

$started = $_SESSION['now'];
$ended = time();
$time1 = $ended - $started;
$time2 = $time1 / 60;

$time2 gives me for example 10.233

Answer 1

This should give you what you want.

$time3 = (int)($time2 * 100) % 100;

Edit: Question turned out to be different. To get minutes and seconds of a unix timestamp, you should do the following.

$minutes = ($time1 / 60) % 60;
$seconds = $time1 % 60;
