So I wanted a little function to output an easy to read but inaccurate date. I came up with the following (probably very inefficient) little function; <?php function ezDate($d) { $ts = time() - strtotime(str_replace("-","/",$d)); if($ts>31536000) $val = round($ts/31536000,0).' year'; else if($ts>2419200) $val = round($ts/2419200,0).' month'; else if($ts>604800) $val = round($ts/604800,0).' week'; else if($ts>86400) $val = round($ts/86400,0).' day'; else if($ts>3600) $val = round($ts/3600,0).' hour'; else if($ts>60) $val = round($ts/60,0).' minute'; else $val = $ts.' second'; if($val>1) $val .= 's'; return $val; } ?> Then I use it as follows; <?php echo ucwords(ezDate('2006-09-07 18:42:00')).' Ago'; ?> Which would output; 2 Months Ago I add an acronym tag around the output also, so my users can mouse-over for the exact date. Hope it helps someone! ---- Server IP: 202.89.36.242 Probable Submitter: 210.86.115.205 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70974 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70974 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70974 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
