note 96768 added to dateinterval.format

With php 5.3, DateTime is sweet ! Here is one quick example : /** * A sweet interval formatting, will use the two biggest interval parts. * On small intervals, you get minutes and seconds. * On big intervals, you get months and days. * Only the two biggest parts are used. * * @param DateTime $start * @param DateTime|null $end * @return string */ public function formatDateDiff($start, $end=null) { if(!($start instanceof DateTime)) { $start = new DateTime($start); } if($end === null) { $end = new DateTime(); } if(!($end instanceof DateTime)) { $end = new DateTime($start); } $interval = $end->diff($start); $doPlural = function($nb,$str){return $nb>1?$str.'s':$str;}; // adds plurals $format = array(); if($interval->y !== 0) { $format[] = "%y ".$doPlural($interval->y, "year"); } if($interval->m !== 0) { $format[] = "%m ".$doPlural($interval->m, "month"); } if($interval->d !== 0) { $format[] = "%d ".$doPlural($interval->d, "day"); } if($interval->h !== 0) { $format[] = "%h ".$doPlural($interval->h, "hour"); } if($interval->i !== 0) { $format[] = "%i ".$doPlural($interval->i, "minute"); } if($interval->s !== 0) { if(!count($format)) { return "less than a minute ago"; } else { $format[] = "%s ".$doPlural($interval->s, "second"); } } // We use the two biggest parts if(count($format) > 1) { $format = array_shift($format)." and ".array_shift($format); } else { $format = array_pop($format); } // Prepend 'since ' or whatever you like return $interval->format($format); } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 85.170.209.162 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.format.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96768 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96768 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96768 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
