Converting timestamp into minutes and seconds

[Frank]

I am timing employees who take a test. I have the start time and end
time, which are unix epochs, and subtracing the start from the end
will give me a large number of seconds, for example 552.
I want to convert this into minutes and seconds.

How do I do this?

Thanks

Reference at http://www.php.net/date


Or you could divide by 60 to get minutes,
and get that number modulo 60 for the seconds
