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;
$weeks=$time/604800;
$days=($time%604800)/86400;
$hours=(($time%604800)%86400)/3600;
$minutes=((($time%604800)%86400)%3600)/60;
$seconds=(((($time%604800)%86400)%3600)%60);
$timestring='last updated [';
if(round($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.
