Most of the mail services/bulletin boards display the time when the message was posted or the mail
was received in the form - 3 days ago, 15 mins ago etc.
Here is a nifty little PHP function which does the same by basically combining the usage of
"/" and "%" operators.
You need to pass the unix timestamp of the time when the message was posted to the function.
function intervalCalc($postedtime)
{
$now = time();
$interval_secs = $now - $postedtime;
if ($interval_secs > 86400)
{
$interval = (($interval_secs - ($interval_secs%86400))/86400);
$interval.= " days ago";
}
elseif ($interval_secs > 3600)
{
$interval = ($interval_secs - ($interval_secs%3600)/3600);
$interval.= " hours ago";
}
elseif ($interval_secs > 60)
{
$interval = ($interval_secs - ($interval_secs%60)/60);
$interval.= " minutes ago";
}
return $interval;
}
