note 97880 added to datetime.diff

If you want to quickly scan through the resulting intervals, you can use the undocumented properties of DateInterval. The function below returns a single number of years, months, days, hours, minutes or seconds between the current date and the provided date. If the date occurs in the past (is negative/inverted), it suffixes it with 'ago'. <?php function pluralize( $count, $text ) { return $count . ( ( $count == 1 ) ? ( " $text" ) : ( " ${text}s" ) ); } function ago( $datetime ) { $interval = date_create('now')->diff( $datetime ); $suffix = ( $interval->invert ? ' ago' : '' ); if ( $v = $interval->y >= 1 ) return pluralize( $interval->y, 'year' ) . $suffix; if ( $v = $interval->m >= 1 ) return pluralize( $interval->m, 'month' ) . $suffix; if ( $v = $interval->d >= 1 ) return pluralize( $interval->d, 'day' ) . $suffix; if ( $v = $interval->h >= 1 ) return pluralize( $interval->h, 'hour' ) . $suffix; if ( $v = $interval->i >= 1 ) return pluralize( $interval->i, 'minute' ) . $suffix; return pluralize( $interval->s, 'second' ) . $suffix; } ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.103.189.84 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97880 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97880 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97880 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
