This is PHP 8.2 and up. This change was done, as there are security issues with older version of both PHP and PHPUnit. This means that version 3.2.x and below support PHP 8.1 and below. Using the component ------------------- [](#using-the-component) There are two ways of getting the time ago in words. By passing `DateTime` objects: ``` $timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo(); echo $timeAgo->inWords(new DateTime("2010-01-10 23:05:00")); ``` By passing strings: ``` $timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo(); echo $timeAgo->inWordsFromStrings("2010/1/10 23:05:00"); ``` Both methods give the same answer, and use the same internal logic. Do you want the actual years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds difference? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#do-you-want-the-actual-years-months-days-hours-minutes-seconds-difference) Good news for you then! I've implemented a nice little function that does just that for you. Simply do the following: ``` $timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo(); // NOTE: this is actually deprecated, since DateTime does the same. Still works though :) $dateDifferenceArray = $timeAgo->dateDifference("2017-03-02 07:53:00", "2017-03-02 07:53:01"); ``` This will return an array with the following data: ``` [ 'years' => 0 'months' => 0 'days' => 0 'hours' => 0 'minutes' => 0 'seconds' => 1 ] ``` How to determine, what "ago" is =============================== [](#how-to-determine-what-ago-is) ``` 0 29 secs # => less than a minute 30 secs 1 min, 29 secs # => 1 minute 1 min, 30 secs 44 mins, 29 secs # => [2..44] minutes 44 mins, 30 secs 89 mins, 29 secs # => about 1 hour 89 mins, 29 secs 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => about [2..24] hours 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs 47 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => 1 day 47 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs 29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => [2..29] days 29 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs 59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 29 secs # => about 1 month 59 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 30 secs 1 yr minus 1 sec # => [2..12] months 1 yr 2 yrs minus 1 secs # => about 1 year 2 yrs max time or date # => over [2..X] years ``` Changes since last version ========================== [](#changes-since-last-version) Lots have changed since the last version. The WWDateTime class is no longer supported. I have implemented a new class which takes a time string as parameter (and a timezone if needed), and calculates the time between them. By request from "lsolesen" (a guy from here on github) I did removed the whole DateTime dependence thingy. About ===== [](#about) Inspired by the comments at: You should really look in to the Carbon project, it looks very nice and gives the same functionality and a lot more. This class is here to give you the same functionality that DateTime::diff will give you. Translations added ================== [](#translations-added) *Version 0.4.x was the big translations release.* You can now translate the texts returned using the $timeAgo->inWords() or timeAgoInWords() methods. The translation is simply a language code string added to the end of the class init or timeAgoInWords() method. Examples using the Danish translations: ``` $myLang = new \Westsworld\TimeAgo\Translations\Da(); $timeAgo = new Westsworld\TimeAgo($myLang); // default language is en (english) echo $timeAgo->inWords("2010/1/10 23:05:00"); ``` Available translation languages =============================== [](#available-translation-languages) You can view the file of available list inside /src/Westsworld/TimeAgo/Translations/ folder.
