9 Digit Time to Hours, Minutes and Seconds - php

Question

I'm coding an integration to a particular software that is not open-source and i have come across a column in the database called "TIME_" which is a 9-digit integer. This time represents Hours-Minutes-Seconds without years, months or days. There is a different column for that, which is called "DATE_". DATE_ columns format is this "2022-01-01 00:00:00". It does not hold hours, minutes, or seconds. Like i said TIME_ column is used for that and i've been trying solutions to get a certain time format from a 9-digit integer but i couldn't come up with anything that worked. By the way, on the UI you can see the converted format of the column "TIME_" but it doesn't say how it converts it and i don't have access to the source code. Here are the solutions i tried:
First I thought it was a time in milliseconds so i wrote a function that takes one parameter that is time in milliseconds and returns a formatted hours, minutes, and seconds but the output wasn't anywhere near what it said on the UI. "271399244" was the data in the column "TIME_" and my function returned "75:23:19" and on the UI it said "16:45:57".
Then i assumed it was an epoch and tried every epoch conversion function in php and they didn't return anywhere near the right format.
Then did some maths and took the value of TIME_ column from 2 data rows and calculated the difference then went to the UI and took the converted value of those 2 rows and also calculated the difference between those values. Then tried to find a correlation but it wasn't consistent at all. So i ran out of solutions.
Screenshots below for a more detailed description.
On the UI:
In the database rows in respective order:
EDIT: As i mentioned in the question, I do not have access to the source code. I don't know how the conversion is being made from 9-digit integer to hours-minutes-seconds as it is my goal to find out.

Date and time components will typically ask for the date format to be something like YYYy-MM-DD, so in the model, you cast that value to date then the input should start rendering the value on page load if that is the issue.
I could have a Note model
class Note extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'text',
'is_private',
'userable_type',
'userable_id',
'scope',
'created_date',
];
protected $casts = [
'is_private' => 'boolean',
'created_date' => 'date',
];
}
Using the date cast - https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-mutators#attribute-casting
Then in the input, you can do something like
<DateComponent value="{{ $note->date }}" />
Sorry if I'm off base but thats what I understand the question to be.
If your having the same problem with the time format you can create a custom cast to convert the time from epoch and back if need

That might look something like this.
namespace App\Casts;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Eloquent\CastsAttributes;
class TimeCast implements CastsAttributes
{
/**
* Cast the given value.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $model
* #param string $key
* #param mixed $value
* #param array $attributes
* #return mixed
*/
public function get($model, $key, $value, $attributes)
{
// Could also use strtotime
return gmdate("H:i:s", $value / 1000);
}
* Prepare the given value for storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $model
* #param string $key
* #param array $value
* #param array $attributes
* #return mixed
*/
public function set($model, $key, $value, $attributes)
{
return strtotime($value) * 1000;
}
}
