Show time ago like Facebook post in PHP

Show time ago like Facebook post in PHP

We will create a function for this and print the time with function name and it will convert the current timestamp and actual post_submitted timestamp difference.

<?php

 

function timeAgo($time_ago) {

$time_ago = strtotime($time_ago);

$cur_time   = time();

$time_elapsed   = $cur_time - $time_ago;

$seconds    = $time_elapsed ;

$minutes    = round($time_elapsed / 60 );

$hours      = round($time_elapsed / 3600);

$days       = round($time_elapsed / 86400 );

$weeks      = round($time_elapsed / 604800);

$months     = round($time_elapsed / 2600640 );

$years      = round($time_elapsed / 31207680 );

 

// Seconds

if($seconds <= 60){

    return "just now";

}

 

//Minutes

else if($minutes <=60){

    if($minutes==1){

        return "1 minute ago";

    }

    else{

        return "$minutes minutes ago";

    }

}

 

//Hours

else if($hours <=24){

    if($hours==1){

        return "an hour ago";

    }else{

        return "$hours hrs ago";

    }

}

 

//Days

else if($days <= 7){

    if($days==1){

        return "yesterday";

    }else{

        return "$days days ago";

    }

}

 

//Weeks

else if($weeks <= 4.3){

    if($weeks==1){

        return "a week ago";

    }else{

        return "$weeks weeks ago";

    }

}

 

//Months

else if($months <=12){

    if($months==1){

        return "a month ago";

    }else{

        return "$months months ago";

    }

}

 

//Years

else{

    if($years==1){

        return "1 year ago";

    }else{

        return "$years years ago";

    }

}

}

?>










After write this function we will have to call the function. First we will create a variable for date and then print it.

$posted_time = "2020-27-02 20:20:20";

 

// For Print with timeago

 

echo timeAgo($posted_time);

/* timeAgo is function which had created

eariler and $posted_time is variable where time has been stored.*/
