note 30591 added to function.time

this is probably already a function, but i thought i'd throw it in anyways. i just wrote this to show how long ago a folder on my server had been updated. here's the function: function thatDate($time){ $time=time()-$time; $days=$time/144000; $hours=($time%144000)/6000; $minutes=(($time%144000)%6000)/100; $seconds=((($time%144000)%6000)%100); $timestring='last updated ['; if(round($days)) $timestring.=round($days)."d "; if(round($hours)) $timestring.=round($hours)."h "; if(round($minutes)) $timestring.=round($minutes)."m"; if(!round($minutes)&&!round($hours)&&!round($days)) $timestring.=" ".round($seconds)."s"; $timestring.=']'; return $timestring; } the argument it's looking for is the date the item was last changed. so you could call it with something like this echo thatDate(filectime('folder/folder/file')); and it will output something like "last updated [1d 13h 24m]". just make sure you give it a UNIX timestamp if you send it a time from a database or something. hope somebody finds this useful. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30591 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30591 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30591
