TimeElapsed

Sirupsen · 05-27-2009, 07:59 PM

Hello! I'm trying to make a scrupt which calculates estimated time since post, like on twitter. I kinda just want it to show minutes, untill its hours, show hours untill its days ago - and when it's at days, show the full date. But would I do this?

But yeah, I'm really really unsure how to do this? Anyone can help me a bit? Here's the code I have so far, if someone know a site or script for this I'd love a look on it..:

PHP Code:


			
    function calcElapsedTime($time){

        $diff = time()-$time;
        $yearsDiff = floor($diff/60/60/24/365);
        $diff -= $yearsDiff*60*60*24*365;
        $monthsDiff = floor($diff/60/60/24/30);
        $diff -= $monthsDiff*60*60*24*30;
        $weeksDiff = floor($diff/60/60/24/7);
        $diff -= $weeksDiff*60*60*24*7;
        $daysDiff = floor($diff/60/60/24);
        $diff -= $daysDiff*60*60*24;
        $hrsDiff = floor($diff/60/60);
        $diff -= $hrsDiff*60*60;
        $minsDiff = floor($diff/60);
        $diff -= $minsDiff*60;
        $secsDiff = $diff;
        
        $ago = 'ago';
        $years = $yearsDiff.' year'.(($yearsDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        $months = $monthsDiff.' month'.(($monthsDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        $weeks = $weeksDiff.' week'.(($weeksDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        $days = $daysDiff.' day'.(($daysDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        $hours = $hrsDiff.' hour'.(($hrsDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        $mins = $minsDiff.' minute'.(($minsDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        $secs = $secsDiff.' second'.(($secsDiff <> 1) ? "s" : "");
        
        if($years < 1) {
            $years = "";
        }    
        
        if($months < 1) {
            $months = "";
        }        
        
        if($weeks < 1) {
            $weeks = "";
        }        

        if($days < 1) {
            $days = "";
        }        
        
        if($hours < 1) {
            $hours = "";
        }
        
        if($mins < 1) {
            $mins = "";
        }
        
        if($secs < 1) {
            $secs = "";
        }
        
        return ('
        
            '.$years.' 
            '.$months.'
            '.$weeks.'
            '.$days.' 
            '.$hours.' 
            '.$mins.' 
            '.$secs.'
            '.$ago.'
        
        ');
}

Thanks a lot! I found what I needed, I had only been looking at Date function on php net. :)
