Ever wondered how long a value in seconds might be in units that your human brain can more comfortably understand?

Now you can convert a value in seconds into a human-readable convenience duration!

Features:

  • Get the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds for a given value
  • Get a value in seconds in years, months, days, hours, minutes or seconds
  • Get a value in seconds as the most appropriate human-readable value

Get the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds for a given value

<?php
use webignition\ReadableDuration\Factory;

/**
 * 100000 seconds is 1 day, 3 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds
 */
$factory = new Factory();    
$readableDuration = $factory->create(100000);

$readableDuration->getDays();
// 1

$readableDuration->getHours();
// 3

$readableDuration->getMinutes();
// 46

$readableDuration->getSeconds();
// 40

Get a value in seconds in years, months, days, hours, minutes or seconds

<?php

use webignition\ReadableDuration\Factory;

/**
 * 100000 seconds as years, months, days, hours, minute or seconds
 *
 * Note: these are human-readable convenience representations not exact
 *
 * 100000 seconds is strictly 1.16 days. As far as convenience is concerned, that's 1 day.
 * 100000 seconds is strictly 27.78 hours. As far as convenience is concerned, that's 28 hours.
 */
$factory = new Factory();    
$readableDuration = $factory->create(100000);

$readableDuration->getInYears();
// 0

$readableDuration->getInMonths();
// 0

$readableDuration->getInDays();
// 1

$readableDuration->getInHours();
// 28

$readableDuration->getInMinutes();

$readableDuration->getInSeconds();

Get a value in seconds as the most appropriate human-readable value

<?php

use webignition\ReadableDuration\Factory;

/**
 * 100000 seconds:
