The README.md

Add time ago functionality to your project

, _(*1)

Getting started

The package is availabe here on Github and on Packagist, _(*2)

https://github.com/jimmiw/php-time-ago
https://packagist.org/packages/jimmiw/php-time-ago

Installing

Using composer you can just do the following, _(*3)

composer require jimmiw/php-time-ago

Using the component

There are two ways of getting the time ago in words., _(*4)

By passing DateTime objects:, _(*5)

$timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo();
echo $timeAgo->inWords(new DateTime("2010-01-10 23:05:00"));

By passing strings:, _(*6)

$timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo();
echo $timeAgo->inWordsFromStrings("2010/1/10 23:05:00");

Both methods give the same answer, and use the same internal logic., _(*7)

Do you want the actual years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds difference?

Good news for you then! I've implemented a nice little function that does just that for you. Simply do the following:, _(*8)

$timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo();
// NOTE: this is actually deprecated, since DateTime does the same. Still works though :)
$dateDifferenceArray =  $timeAgo->dateDifference("2017-03-02 07:53:00", "2017-03-02 07:53:01");

This will return an array with the following data:, _(*9)

[
    'years' => 0
    'months' => 0
    'days' => 0
    'hours' => 0
    'minutes' => 0
    'seconds' => 1
]

How to determine, what "ago" is

  0 <-> 29 secs                                                             # => less than a minute
  30 secs <-> 1 min, 29 secs                                                # => 1 minute
  1 min, 30 secs <-> 44 mins, 29 secs                                       # => [2..44] minutes
  44 mins, 30 secs <-> 89 mins, 29 secs                                     # => about 1 hour
  89 mins, 29 secs <-> 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs                             # => about [2..24] hours
  23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs <-> 47 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs                     # => 1 day
  47 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs <-> 29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs            # => [2..29] days
  29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs   # => about 1 month
  59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs <-> 1 yr minus 1 sec                    # => [2..12] months
  1 yr <-> 2 yrs minus 1 secs                                               # => about 1 year
  2 yrs <-> max time or date                                                # => over [2..X] years

Changes since last version

Lots have changed since the last version. The WWDateTime class is no longer supported. I have implemented a new class which takes a time string as parameter (and a timezone if needed), and calculates the time between them., _(*10)

By request from "lsolesen" (a guy from here on github) I did removed the whole DateTime dependence thingy., _(*11)

About

Inspired by the comments at:, _(*12)

http://dk.php.net/time, _(*13)

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#M001695, _(*14)

You should really look in to the Carbon project, it looks very nice and gives the same functionality and a lot more., _(*15)

This class is here to give you the same functionality that DateTime::diff will give you., _(*16)

Translations added

Version 0.4.x was the big translations release., _(*17)

You can now translate the texts returned using the $timeAgo->inWords() or timeAgoInWords() methods. The translation is simply a language code string added to the end of the class init or timeAgoInWords() method., _(*18)

Examples using the Danish translations:, _(*19)

$myLang = new \Westsworld\TimeAgo\Translations\Da();

$timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo($myLang); // default language is en (english)
echo $timeAgo->inWords("2010/1/10 23:05:00");

Available translation languages

You can view the file of available list inside /src/Westsworld/TimeAgo/Translations/ folder., _(*20)
