Timestamp question

[almightyegg]

I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction (either by starting the code/telling me the functions I need to use/sending me to a tutorial) for taking a timestamp and working out how many years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds ago it was.

 

Thanks in advance

you mean you want to echo the current time and day?

[almightyegg]

no, I want to take the current timestamp and an old one that's saved and echo the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds since then

[tabatsoy]

$timespan = $current - $savedtime;

$timetotal = date("H:i:s m/d/Y");

echo $timetotal.'since last savedtime;

 

 

try it!

[almightyegg]

erm, that'll just show the current time

[unsider]

$timespan = $current - $savedtime;

$timetotal = date("H:i:s m/d/Y");

echo $timetotal.'since last savedtime;

 

 

try it!

 

This is incorrect.

 

$current = insertYourDateFunction
$savedtime = insertTimeStamp
$timespan = $current - $savedtime;
echo $timespan . 'since last savedtime';

ok.
