Humanize PHP
============

[](#humanize-php)

*A quick port of the useful aspects of [Django's Humanize library](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/contrib/humanize/).*

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package is available in Packagist/Composer as `gburtini/humanize-php`.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- `naturaltime($timestamp, $depth=1)` returns "5 minutes ago" type responses from timestamp. `$depth` indicates how many units we should break your timestamp in to.
- `apnumber($n)` returns the "Associated Press style" number, `$n`, where numbers 1 thru 9 are returned as a word.
- `intcomma($n)` comma-separates an integer, unlike Django, it does not respect format localization.
- `intword($n)` returns the "word" for a given large number, for example, 1000000 becomes 1.0 million.
- `naturalday($timestamp, $format)` returns "today", "yesterday" or "tomorrow" from a given `$timestamp`, alternatively returns the date in `$format`.
- `ordinal($n)` converts an integer in to its ordinal string (1st, 2nd, ...)
- `checkize($n)` converts a number in to its check (cheque) ready word form. 65535 becomes "sixty five thousand, five hundred and thirty five." *not in Django*
