Here's a function that returns a text string giving the amount of time since a particular date.
For example, on Sept 17, 2003, howLongSince( 6, 4, 1999 ) (April 6, 1999) returned "4 years, 5
months, and 11 days".
I originally got it from javascript.internet.com, and ported it from Javascript to PHP.
function howLongSince( $startdate, $startmonth, $startyear ) {
$sdate=$startdate;
$smonth=$startmonth;
$syear=$startyear;
$DaysInMonth = array(0,31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31);
$thisyear = date( 'Y' );
$thismonth = date( 'n' );
$thisdate = date( 'j' );
$mstart = mktime(0, 0, 0, $smonth==12 ? 1 : $smonth+1, 1, $syear );
$days1 = ($mstart - mktime( 0, 0, 0, $smonth, $sdate, $syear))/(24*60*60)-1;
$mend = mktime( 0, 0, 0, $thismonth, 1, $thisyear );
$days2 = (mktime( 0, 0, 0, $thismonth, $thisdate, $thisyear ) - $mend)/(24*60*60)+1;
$dayst = $days1 + $days2;
if ($dayst >= $DaysInMonth[$smonth]) {
$AddOneMonth = 1;
$dayst -= $DaysInMonth[$smonth];
}
else $AddOneMonth = 0;
$ydiff1 = $thisyear-date('Y', $mstart );
$mdiff1 = $thismonth-date('n', $mstart)+$AddOneMonth;
$dayst = floor($dayst);
if ($mdiff1 > 11) {
$mdiff1=0;
$ydiff1++;
}
if ($mdiff1 < 0) {
$mdiff1 = $mdiff1 + 12;
$ydiff1--;
}
if ($ydiff1 == 0 ) {
$temp = "";
if ( $mdiff1 != 0 ) {
$temp .= $mdiff1==1? "1 month, and " : "$mdiff1 months, and ";
}
$temp .= $dayst==0 ? "0 days" : $dayst==1 ? "1 day" : "$dayst days";
} else {
$temp = "";
if( $ydiff1 > 0 ) {
$temp .= $ydiff1==1 ? "1 year, " : "$ydiff1 years, ";
}
if( $mdiff1 > 0 ) {
$temp .= $mdiff1==1 ? "1 month, and " : "$mdiff1 months, and ";
}
$temp .= $dayst==0 ? "0 days" : $dayst==1 ? "1 day" : "$dayst days";
}
return $temp;
}
