PHP Time Stamp Function.

I had developed a date time stamp function using PHP and implemented this at labs.9lessons.info. It is very important for social media web applications. I hope it's useful for you.

PHP Time Stamp Function.

Download Script     Live Demo

time_stamp.php
Contains PHP code. You have to use the time_stamp() function to display the date and time.
<?php
function time_stamp($session_time)
{
$time_difference = time() - $session_time ;

$seconds = $time_difference ;
$minutes = round($time_difference / 60 );
$hours = round($time_difference / 3600 );
$days = round($time_difference / 86400 );
$weeks = round($time_difference / 604800 );
$months = round($time_difference / 2419200 );
$years = round($time_difference / 29030400 );
// Seconds
if($seconds <= 60)
{
echo "$seconds seconds ago";
}
//Minutes
else if($minutes <=60)
{

   if($minutes==1)
  {
   echo "one minute ago";
   }
   else
   {
    echo "$minutes minutes ago";
   }

}
//Hours
else if($hours <=24)
{

   if($hours==1)
  {
   echo "one hour ago";
  }
  else
  {
   echo "$hours hours ago";
  }

}
//Days
else if($days <= 7)
{

  if($days==1)
  {
   echo "one day ago";
  }
  else
  {
   echo "$days days ago";
   }

}
//Weeks
else if($weeks <= 4)
{

   if($weeks==1)
  {
   echo "one week ago";
   }
  else
  {
   echo "$weeks weeks ago";
  }

}
//Months
else if($months <=12)
{

   if($months==1)
  {
   echo "one month ago";
   }
  else
  {
   echo "$months months ago";
   }

}
//Years
else
{

   if($years==1)
   {
    echo "one year ago";
   }
   else
  {
    echo "$years years ago";
   }

}

}
$session_time ="1264326122";
//$session_time=time();
echo time_stamp($session_time);
?>

  1. Hi,
    i would write this function this way:

    1. Use return not echo in a function.
    2. Your formatting was BAD.

  3. I don't think timestamp are the way to go. Rather use normale date represetations.

  12. Try with:

    $session_time= strtotime("2010-03-03 00:01:51");
    $time=time_stamp($session_time)

  14. I would Do it this way


    function timesince($original) {
    $ta = array(
    'year' => 31536000, // year
    'month' => 2592000, // month
    'week' => 604800, // week
    'day' => 86400, // Day
    'hour' => 3600, // Hour
    'minut' => 60, // Minute
    'second' => 1); // Second
    $since = time() - $original;
    $res = '';
    foreach($ta as $key => $value) {
    $cnt = floor($since / $value);
    if($cnt != 0) {
    $since = $since - ($value * $cnt);
    if($res == ''){
    $res .= ($cnt == 1) ? '1 ' . $key : "$cnt {$key}s";
    } else {
    $res .= ($cnt == 1) ? ' 1 ' . $key : " $cnt {$key}s";
    }
    }
    }
    return $res;
    }

  15. A little improvment to the last posted version. Is more a facebook style date:

    function timesince($original) {
    $ta = array(
    array(31536000, "Year"),
    array(2592000, "Month"),
    array(604800, "Week"),
    array(86400, "Day"),
    array(3600, "Hour"),
    array(60, "Minute"),
    array(1, "Second")
    );

    $since = time() - $original;

    $res = "";
    $lastkey = 0;

    for( $i=0; $i= 60 && ($i - $lastkey) == 1 ){
    $res .= ($cnt == 1) ? " y 1 {$ta[$i][1]}" : " y {$cnt} {$ta[$i][1]}s";
    break;
    }else{
    break;
    }
    }
    }

    return $res;
    }
