 * Usage: get_secs_duration(day, hr, min, sec) will return the number 
 * of seconds based on the time duration given; fmt_secs_duration(secs)
 * will return day(s) hour(s) min(s) sec(s) in an array.

function get_secs_duration($d = 0, $h = 0, $m = 0, $s = 0)
{
    // Multiply each number to its correct value in seconds.
    $d *= 86400; $h *= 3600; $m *= 60; $s += 0;
    
    // Return the total number of seconds for day(s), hr(s), min(s), sec(s).
    return $d + $h + $m + $s;
}

function fmt_secs_duration($seconds)
{
    // Set the values of day, hour, min, sec.
    $d = floor($seconds/86400);
    $h = floor(($seconds%86400)/3600);
    $m = floor(($seconds%3600)/60);
    $s = $seconds%60;
    
    // Return an associative array with the values of d = day, h = hour, m = min, s = sec.
    return array('d' => $d, 'h' => $h, 'm' => $m, 's' => $s);
}

// Example on using both functions together. Try leaving out some of the arguments in get_secs_duration()
// function and see what the output is like. Here's the arguments in order: day, hour, min, sec.

$seconds = get_secs_duration(0, 2, 30, 15); // returns 9015 sec(s).
$dur = fmt_secs_duration($seconds);

// We finally output the results of the array from fmt_secs_duration() function.
echo "Time Duration: {$dur['d']} day(s), {$dur['h']} hour(s), {$dur['m']} min(s), {$dur['s']} sec(s)";

The "Time Duration Functions" allow you to get the number of seconds from a given time duration, or format the time duration from a given number of seconds. An example is provided.
