How to extract hours, minutes and second from string in PHP

Answer 1

$str = "11:58:35";
$time_parts = array();

$pos = 0;

while (($pos = strpos($str, ":", $pos)) != false) {
    array_push($time_parts, substr($str, 0, $pos - 0));
    $str = substr($str, $pos + 1);
}

array_push($time_parts, $str); // Add the seconds

if (count($time_parts) != 3) {
    echo "Invalid time format\n";
}
        
$hours = intval($time_parts[0]);
$minutes = intval($time_parts[1]);
$seconds = intval($time_parts[2]);

echo $hours . ":" . $minutes . ":" . $seconds;
