note 110877 deleted from function.strtotime by aharvey

Note Submitter: jimmetry at gmail dot com ---- Comparing two simple times (no date) is way too much effort with strtotime, especially with the new epoch and timezone warnings. I got tired of making the problem overcomplicated, and made this little function instead: <?php /* Converts a string time duration into seconds. Supports * hours:minutes:seconds, hours:minutes:seconds.fraction, * hours:minutes and minutes:seconds.fraction formats. */ function durationInSeconds($duration) { // Split components $pieces = explode(':', $duration); $numPieces = count($pieces); // Check for hours:minutes anomaly if ($numPieces == 3 || strpos($pieces[$numPieces - 1], '.')) $offset = 0; else $offset = 1; // Sum components $seconds = 0; for ($i = 0, $j = $numPieces - 1; $j >= 0; $i++, $j--) $seconds += $pieces[$i] * pow(60, $j + $offset); return $seconds; } ?>
