note 78025 added to ref.datetime

I wrote a simple script to format a duration in seconds.
Give the function some value in seconds and it will return
an array.

<?php

function format_duration($seconds) {

	$periods = array(
		'centuries' => 3155692600,
		'decades' => 315569260,
		'years' => 31556926,
		'months' => 2629743,
		'weeks' => 604800,
		'days' => 86400,
		'hours' => 3600,
		'minutes' => 60,
		'seconds' => 1
	);

	$durations = array();

	foreach ($periods as $period => $seconds_in_period) {
		if ($seconds >= $seconds_in_period) {
			$durations[$period] = floor($seconds /
$seconds_in_period);
			$seconds -= $durations[$period] * $seconds_in_period;
		}
	}
	
	return $durations;

}

echo format_duration(864);

/*
[minutes] => 14
[seconds] => 24
*/

echo format_duration(3600);

/*
[hours] => 1
*/

echo format_duration(11111111);

/*
[months] => 4
[days] => 6
[hours] => 20
[minutes] => 28
[seconds] => 59
*/

?>
