Change date to X minutes ago (messages)

[xoligy]

Ok at the moment im working on a script and im trying to make it so when a pm is sent it says message was sent "x" seconds, minutes, hrs ago. Now i have the code (i believe i just cannot for the live of me get it to work because im stupid lol!

 

Ok here is the code for messages

<?=vDate($messages[$i]->date)?>  // this would output the time 22:30 or May 30, 2008

 

additional code

function vDate($time){

$timenow=time();

$timenow=date ("M d, Y",$timenow);

$time1=date ("M d, Y",$time);

if ($timenow==$time1){

	$time1=date ("H:i",$time);

}



return $time1;

}

 

Code im trying to replace it with but canna figure out how o.0

function getDateDiff($age){

$timet = 3600*24;
    $days=floor($age/$timet);
    $hours=floor($age/3600);
    $minutes=floor($age/60);
    $seconds=$age;
    
    if ($days>0)
        $age ="$days days ago";
    else if ($hours>0)
        $age ="$hours hr".(($hours>1)?"s":"")." ago";
    else if ($minutes>0)
        $age ="$minutes min".(($minutes>1)?"s":"")." ago";
    else
        $age ="$seconds sec".(($seconds>1)?"s":"")." ago";

return $age;
}//EOF

$pastdate = 1209358800;//April 28 2008
$datedif = time()-$pastdate;//subtract the past date from the current time

//now run the function
echo getDateDiff($datedif);
