How does my php function for converting a date to facebook timestamp look? New to PHP.
- by First2Drown
any suggestions to make it better?
function convertToFBTimestamp($date){
$this_date = date('Y-m-d-H-i-s', strtotime($date));
$cur_date = date('Y-m-d-H-i-s');
list ($this_year, $this_month, $this_day, $this_hour, $this_min, $this_sec) = explode('-',$this_date);
list ($cur_year, $cur_month, $cur_day, $cur_hour, $cur_min, $cur_sec) = explode('-',$cur_date);
$this_unix_time = mktime($this_hour, $this_min, $this_sec, $this_month, $this_day, $this_year);
$cur_unix_time = mktime($cur_hour, $cur_min, $cur_sec, $cur_month, $cur_day, $cur_year);
$cur_unix_date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $cur_month, $cur_day, $cur_year);
$dif_in_sec = $cur_unix_time - $this_unix_time;
$dif_in_min = (int)($dif_in_sec / 60);
$dif_in_hours = (int)($dif_in_min / 60);
if(date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date))== date('Y-m-d'))
{
if($dif_in_sec < 60)
{
return $dif_in_sec." seconds ago";
}
elseif($dif_in_sec < 120)
{
return "about a minute ago";
}
elseif($dif_in_min < 60)
{
return $dif_in_min." minutes ago";
}
else
{
if($dif_in_hours == 1)
{
return $dif_in_hours." hour ago";
}
else
{
return $dif_in_hours." hours ago";
}
}
}
elseif($cur_unix_date - $this_unix_time < 86400 )
{
return strftime("Yesterday at %l:%M%P",$this_unix_time);
}
elseif($cur_unix_date - $this_unix_time < 259200)
{
