Description: The first function here will convert hour:minute strings like “1:45” into the total number of minutes, in this case “105”.
The second function will do the opposite.
# Transform hours like "1:45" into the total number of minutes, "105".
function hoursToMinutes($hours)
{
if (strstr($hours, ':'))
{
# Split hours and minutes.
$separatedData = split(':', $hours);
$minutesInHours = $separatedData[0] * 60;
$minutesInDecimals = $separatedData[1];
$totalMinutes = $minutesInHours + $minutesInDecimals;
}
else
{
$totalMinutes = $hours * 60;
}
return $totalMinutes;
}
# Transform minutes like "105" into hours like "1:45".
function minutesToHours($minutes)
{
$hours = floor($minutes / 60);
$decimalMinutes = $minutes - floor($minutes/60) * 60;
# Put it together.
$hoursMinutes = sprintf("%d:%02.0f", $hours, $decimalMinutes);
return $hoursMinutes;
}
