like google news

[kjoker]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can point out to a tutorial on how to display posted time like in google news. (i.e. posted 30 min ago, 1 hour ago)

I got an idea but not sure how to get it started. my idea is not using a loop so i have a lot of repetition on the if statements.

Thanks.

$posted_date_string = "Tuesday, March 21st 2006";
$posted_date_unix = strrotime($posted_date_string);
$current_date_unix = date("U");

$elapsed_minutes = ($current_date_unix - $posted_date_string) / 60;
