If you only need less than 24 hours, then:

$totalSeconds = 12345;

$dt = new DateTime('@' . $totalSeconds);
echo $dt->format('H:i:s');

function timeConversion($totalSeconds) {

  $minutesInAnHour = 60;
  $secondsInAMinute = 60;
  $secondsInAnHour = 3600;

  $seconds = $totalSeconds%$secondsInAMinute;
  $hours = (int)($totalSeconds/$secondsInAnHour);
  $totalMinutes = $totalSeconds - $seconds;
  $minutes = ($totalMinutes-$hours*$secondsInAnHour)/$minutesInAnHour;

  return $hours . "h " . $minutes . "min " . $seconds . "s";

}
