Sorry, I'm too used to PHP Freaks' PHP BBcode

Code: Select all
function time_since($time){
         
         $now = mktime();
         $seconds_since = $now - $time;
         
         if($seconds_since < 60){
            return $seconds_since.' seconds ago';
         }
         else if($seconds_since > 59 && $seconds_since < 120){
            return '1 minute ago';
         }
         else if($seconds_since > 119 && $seconds_since < 3600){
            $minutes = round($seconds_since / 60);
            return $minutes.' minutes ago';
         }
         else if($seconds_since > 3599 && $seconds_since < 86400){
            $hours = round($seconds_since / 3600);
            if($hours == 1){
               return "1 hour ago";
            }
            else{
               return $hours.' hours ago';
            }
         }
         else if($seconds_since > 86400 && $seconds_since < 604800){
            $days = round($seconds_since/86400);
            if($days == 1){
               return "1 day ago";
            }
            else{
               return $days.' days ago';
            }
         }
         else if($seconds_since > 604799){
            $weeks = round($seconds_since/604800);
            if($weeks == 1){
               return "1 week ago";
            }
            else{
               return $weeks.' weeks ago';
            }
         }
      }

Messiah-Wayne,

Interesting code. Please forgive my n00bness :n00b: , although I'm a web designer, I'm currently trying to learn and understand web programming. How would your code be used?

I'm running MAMP and I'm not sure how to execute this properly.

Thanks.

Hi Firebird...

Wow... you're using a MAMP server? Can I suggest a LAMP? Or even a WAMP? You do know that even Macintosh uses a LAMP don't you?

Anyway... All you have to do to use my code is give it a timestamp. This timestamp can be taken from a database or wherever it was recorded.

Code: Select all
$time = mktime();
echo time_since($time);


That will then print the seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks that have passed since.
