Showing time only with interval 5 minutes

Hi guys,

i need showing time only with interval 5 minutes, for example :

the time now is 00:00, so its showing 00:00
at 00:01, its should be still showing 00:00
at 00:02, its should be still showing 00:00

the time now is 00:05, so its showing 00:05
at 00:06, its should be still showing 00:05
at 00:07, its should be still showing 00:05

and so on

please help if you can what is the code looks like? gbu for helping

 

$date = date('H:i', mktime(date('H'), 5 * round(date('i') / 5)));

PHP:

 

hey many thanks, gbu & liked

 

Uhm... Math.round is going to make 3 show 5... you want Math.floor instead if you want 3 and 4 to be zero.

Rather than the logic of rounding and two long math operations (mul and div) I'd store date('i') in a var, then subtract modulo 5 from it. It would be a hair faster. In fact if you worked from a second based timestamp and subtracted modulo 300, you'd get the same effect in far less operations.

// I'm storing time() in $time to be sure there's no rollover errors
$time5 = date('H:i', ($time = time()) - ($time % 300));

Code (markup):

It's always easier to subtract the modulo (remainder) than it is to perform div+mul+trunc. Likewise don't waste time converting back and forth between plaintext and an integer. Only use the 'date' function once you have your result!

Oh, and if you wanted the round off behavior, add 150 to time(). Still cleaner/faster.
