I am playing around with getting hours and minutes out of seconds, and we all see the many many questions that are similar to this, but I am not sure what solution is the best
$seconds = 6530;
$secs = $seconds % 60;
$hrs = $seconds / 60;
$mins = $hrs % 60; // Causing the issue
$hrs = $hrs / 60;
var_dump($hrs, $mins, $secs);
This is the code, which gives me:
Deprecated: Implicit conversion from float 108.83333333333333 to int loses precision
float(1.8138888888888889)
int(48)
int(50)
I understand the error, thats not the issue, the issue is how to solve it. I have tried
$mins = (int) ($hrs % 60);
and
$mins = intval($hrs % 60);
as well as
$mins = (int) round($hrs % 60);
But I get the same issue.
Here is the sandbox for reference: https://onlinephp.io/c/b5b45
What is the proper way to solve this? I do want this as an int, but not sure how to properly convert it.

If you want to int your float to int, you can use some function such a floor round etc..
in your case you are looking for floor so you should do:
<?php
$seconds = 6530;
$secs = $seconds % 60;
$hrs = $seconds / 60;
$hrs = floor($hrs);
$mins = $hrs % 60;
$hrs = $hrs / 60;
var_dump($hrs, $mins, $secs);
That's giving:
float(1.8)
int(48)
int(50)

The answer that has been approved here doesn't give the correct result. We know the result should be:
int(1)
int(48)
int(50)
Which is indeed 6530 seconds because: 3600 2880 50 = 6530.
The correct way to compute this is:
$seconds = 6530;
$modulusSeconds = $seconds % 60;
$minutes = intdiv($seconds, 60);
$modulusMinutes = $minutes % 60;
$hours = intdiv($minutes, 60);
var_dump($hours, $modulusMinutes, $modulusSeconds);
There is however another way to compute this:
$seconds = 6530;
echo gmdate("G i s", $seconds);
Which is simpler. This results in:
1 48 50
