How to convert a time to milliseconds using PHP

Question

I need to convert a PHP time which is into milliseconds, I have tried using the "time * 1000" but the result is not correct.

example time: 01:26.7 (1 minute, 26 seconds, 7 milliseconds)

Answer 1

Try to split the parts and convert every part to miliseconds then return the sum, something like:

$time1   = explode(":", "01:26.7");
$time2   = explode(".", $time1[1]);

$minute  = $time1[0] * 60 * 1000;
$second  = $time2[0] * 1000;
$milisec = $time2[1];

$result = $minute + $second + $milisec;

echo $result;

You can use DateTime class or a library for that, check:
