the182guy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The one you have can be used like foreach($userPost as $p){ $postTime = ago($p['postTime']); echo "Post: ".$p['postTitle'].", ".$postTime."<br/>"; } There is another one here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php#91864 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241779-how-to-show-post-time-like-posted-few-seconds-ago/#findComment-1254910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
