<?php
class Cokidoo_DateTime extends DateTime {
protected $strings = array(
'y' => array('1 year ago', '%d years ago'),
'm' => array('1 month ago', '%d months ago'),
'd' => array('1 day ago', '%d days ago'),
'h' => array('1 hour ago', '%d hours ago'),
'i' => array('1 minute ago', '%d minutes ago'),
's' => array('now', '%d secons ago'),
);
/**
* Returns the difference from the current time in the format X time ago
* @return string
*/
public function __toString() {
$now = new DateTime('now');
$diff = $this->diff($now);
foreach($this->strings as $key => $value){
if( ($text = $this->getDiffText($key, $diff)) ){
return $text;
}
}
return '';
}
/**
* Try to construct the time diff text with the specified interval key
* @param string $intervalKey A value of: [y,m,d,h,i,s]
* @param DateInterval $diff
* @return string|null
*/
protected function getDiffText($intervalKey, $diff){
$pluralKey = 1;
$value = $diff->$intervalKey;
if($value > 0){
if($value < 2){
$pluralKey = 0;
}
return sprintf($this->strings[$intervalKey][$pluralKey], $value);
}
return null;
}
}
?>
How to use:
<?php
$date = new Cokidoo_Datetime('2011-01-01');
echo $date;
?>
