Time stamps

[KoRnDragon]

Does anyone know of a script that translates time stamps to look like
those used by Gmail? (ie. 2 days ago/ 15 minutes ago etc.)

With time() you can get the current timestamp and then you can calculate
the difference in minutes or days or weeks etc.

function sec2text($secs) {
$units = array(
86400 => 'Days',
3600 => 'Hours',
60 => 'mins',
1 => 'secs' );

$out = '';
foreach($units as $unit => $txt ) {
$t = floor($secs / $unit);
if( $t > 0 ) {
$secs -= ($t * $unit );
$out .= $t . ' ' . $txt . ' ';
}
}
return $out;
}

// behind count
$behind = time() - $take;

sec2text($behind)

Obviously the $take function is the anmount of time your taking away rom the
current time

hope this helps
