note 98463 added to function.time

I took andypsv at rcdrugs dot com function and made it better. Added input check, future time and improved precision. Also fixed the trailing space and improved readability. <?php function nicetime($timestamp,$recursive = false) { if(empty($timestamp) || preg_match('/[0-9]/',$timestamp) === 0 || !is_bool($recursive)) { return __METHOD__ .': Invalid input'; } $cur_tm = time(); $dif = $cur_tm-$timestamp; $tense = 'ago'; if($dif < 0) { $tense = 'from now'; $dif = abs($dif); } $pds = array('second','minute','hour','day','week','month','year','decade'); $lngh = array(1,60,3600,86400,604800,2630880,31570560,315705600); for($v = sizeof($lngh)-1; ($v >= 0)&&(($no = $dif/$lngh[$v]) < 1); $v--); if($v < 0) { $v = 0; } $_tm = $cur_tm-($dif%$lngh[$v]); if(floor($no) <> 1) { $pds[$v] .='s'; } $str = sprintf('%d %s',($recursive?$no:round($no)),$pds[$v]); if(($recursive)&&($v >= 1)&&(($cur_tm-$_tm) > 0)) { $str .= ', '. nicetime($_tm); } return $str .' '. $tense; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 92.246.4.127 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98463 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98463 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98463 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
