How to Convert Seconds to “Days, Hours:Minutes:Seconds” Format in Visual Basic 6 (VB6)

Masino Sinaga — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:03:26 +0000

This following code will give you a complete solution how to convert a Seconds value to a “Days, Hours:Minutes:Seconds” format in Visual Basic 6 (VB6). This will be useful when you want to know how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds from the given Seconds value. For example, you have a record which has value of 175 seconds. So, by using this solution, you will know that this 175 seconds is equal with “2 minutes and 55 seconds”, or in the standard time format, it will become: “00:02:55″. The same way you can do, that if you have a value of 294625 seconds, then you can convert it become a complete days and time format: “3 day(s), 09:50:25″, or it is equal with “3 days, 9 hours, 50 minutes, and 25 seconds”.

Copy this following function to your .bas module:

Public Function SecondsToDateTimeSerial(ByVal Sec As Long) As String
  Dim lngSecParam As Long
  Dim lngSeconds As Long
  Dim lngHours As Long
  Dim lngMinutes As Long
 
  Dim tempSecParam As Long
 
  lngSecParam = Sec
  lngSeconds = lngSecParam \ 86400
  lngSecParam = lngSecParam - (lngSeconds * 86400)
 
  lngHours = lngSecParam \ 3600
  lngSecParam = lngSecParam - (lngHours * 3600)
 
  lngMinutes = lngSecParam \ 60
  lngSecParam = lngSecParam - (lngMinutes * 60)
 
  tempSecParam = lngSecParam
 
  SecondsToDateTimeSerial = _
    IIf(Sec >= 86400, lngSeconds & " day(s), ", vbNullString) & _
    IIf(Sec >= 0, Format(lngHours, "0#") & ":", vbNullString) & _
    Format(lngMinutes, "0#") & ":" & Format(tempSecParam, "0#")
End Function

Try that function by using this following example code:

MsgBox SecondsToDateTimeSerial(175) '<-- this will give you an output: "00:02:55"
MsgBox SecondsToDateTimeSerial(294625) '<-- this will give you an output: "3 day(s), 09:50:25"

How To Know the Difference or Time Duration Between Two Dates in PHP

Masino Sinaga — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:39:42 +0000

Have you ever got difficulty when you want to calculate the difference or the time duration between two dates by using PHP? For example, the first date is ’2009-12-01 11:12:13′, and the second date is ’2009-12-04 14:15:16′, so the difference or the time duration between this two dates will give a result as: ’3 Day(s), 3 Hour(s), 3 Minute(s), 3 Second(s).’. We will make the function in order to make you easy to implement this calculation in your PHP code. Please note that your date format must be in this order: ‘yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss’ as possible, otherwise, this function will not work properly, I guess.

// Display the result...
echo Duration('2009-12-01 11:12:13', '2009-12-04 14:15:16');
 
  function Duration($parambegindate, $paramenddate) {
    $begindate = strtotime($parambegindate);
    $enddate = strtotime($paramenddate);
    $diff = intval($enddate) - intval($begindate);                 
    $diffday = intval(floor($diff/86400));
    $modday = ($diff%86400);
    $diffhour = intval(floor($modday/3600));
    $diffminute = intval(floor(($modday%3600)/60));
    $diffsecond = ($modday%60);
    return round($diffday)." Day(s), ".round($diffhour)." Hour(s), ".round($diffminute,0)." Minute(s), ".round($diffsecond,0)." Second(s).";

Sum Time with Format hh:mm:ss by Using PHP

Masino Sinaga — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:09:01 +0000

Have you ever got the difficulty when you want to sum the two time and display its result with format hours:minutes:seconds by using PHP? Well, now you don’t have to worry about it. This following code will give you the solution.

Here is the code:


 
/**
 * @author Masino Sinaga, http://www.openscriptsolution.com
 * @copyright October 13, 2009
 */
 
echo sum_the_time('01:45:22', '17:27:03');  // this will give you a result: 19:12:25
 
function sum_the_time($time1, $time2) {
  $times = array($time1, $time2);
  $seconds = 0;
  foreach ($times as $time)
  {
    list($hour,$minute,$second) = explode(':', $time);
    $seconds += $hour*3600;
    $seconds += $minute*60;
    $seconds += $second;
  }
  $hours = floor($seconds/3600);
  $seconds -= $hours*3600;
  $minutes  = floor($seconds/60);
  $seconds -= $minutes*60;
  // return "{$hours}:{$minutes}:{$seconds}";
  return sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', $hours, $minutes, $seconds); // Thanks to Patrick
}
 
?>

Enjoy it and have a nice code!
