The best way I can explain the application of this function is this is to benefit the USER when reading back a time needs to be absolutely clear to anybody reading in a very friendly format.

<?php
function timeAgo($stamp,$chk = "") {
if($chk==""){ $chk = time(); }
if($stamp>$chk) { $diff = $stamp-$chk; } else { $diff = $chk-$stamp; }
switch($diff) {
case ($diff>31556926): {
$years = floor($diff/31556926);
$ago = $years." year(s) ago";
if($years==0){ $ago = "Now"; }
break;
}
case ($diff>2629743): {
$months = floor($diff/2629743);
$ago = $months." month(s) ago";
break;
}
case ($diff>604800): {
$weeks = floor($diff/604800);
$ago = $weeks." week(s) ago";

case ($diff>86400): {
$days = floor($diff/86400);
$ago = $days." day(s) ago";

case ($diff>3400): {
$hours = floor($diff/3400);
$ago = $hours. " hour(s) ago";
break;
}
case ($diff>60): {
$minutes = floor($diff/60);
$ago = $minutes. " minute(s) ago";
break;
}
case (($diff<60)&&($diff>1)): {
$ago = $diff. " second(s) ago";
break;
}
case ($diff<=1): {
$ago = "Now";
break;

case ($diff==0): {
$ago = "Now";
break;
}
}
return $ago;
}
?>
This PHP function will allow you to print how long a timestamp was in a human readable format. You can also compare it against another past time by using the 2nd parameter provided. This is useful for presenting last login to the user, a comment system's posts, etc.

Please be patient contacting me, I don't really check much of social media or anything. If you use the IRC be sure to stick around because that's how IRC works, silly. :P
