Is it posible?

So, on my website, i have added a "last active" feature, so if someone is surfing the site, they can view when another users last page visit was.

so, every second, +1 is added to the $ts variable

what i have now, working and all, shows ONLY "NOW!", or ONLY "1 second", ONLY "___ seconds ago"... and so on

I have tried over, and over, and over to fix this to my liking, with more instances available, as an example, my current script will show somebody who is 13 minutes and 26 seconds inactive, just as "13 Minutes", i want to see the "26 seconds" too... some thing "Last Active: 13 Minutes and 26 seconds ago"

function howlongtil($ts) {
   $ts=$ts - time();
   if ($ts<1)
       // <1 second
       return " NOW";
   elseif ($ts==1)
       // <1 second
       return $ts." second";
   elseif ($ts<60)
       // <1 minute
       return $ts." seconds";
    elseif ($ts<120)
       // 1 minute
      return "1 minute";
   
    else 
       // <1 hour
       return floor($ts/60)." minutes";
      
};

So This is what i've got, anyone got a clue as to how i can amend it to show all the differences?

I used this function to display time remaining until an online auction finishes, which is typically days, hours, mins and secs. It does not handle leap years or months, but it may be sufficient for what you need:

<?php 


$from_tstamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 2009);
$to_tstamp = mktime(0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 2009);

var_dump(timestamp_difference_units_to_string(timestamp_difference_to_units($from_tstamp, $to_tstamp)));



function timestamp_difference_to_units($from_tstamp, $to_tstamp){

$from_tstamp = intval($from_tstamp);
$to_tstamp = intval($to_tstamp);

$seconds_remaining = $to_tstamp-$from_tstamp;
if($seconds_remaining < 0){
	$retval = timestamp_difference_to_units($to_tstamp, $from_tstamp);
	foreach($retval as $k=>$v){
		$retval[$k] = -$v;
	}
	return $retval;
}

$num_years = 0;
$num_days = 0;
$num_hours = 0;
$num_mins = 0;
$num_secs = 0;

while($seconds_remaining >= 31536000){
	$num_years++;
	$seconds_remaining -= 31536000;
}

while($seconds_remaining >= 86400){
	$num_days++;
	$seconds_remaining -= 86400;
}

while($seconds_remaining >= 3600){
	$num_hours++;
	$seconds_remaining -= 3600;
}

while($seconds_remaining >= 60){
	$num_mins++;
	$seconds_remaining -= 60;
}

$num_secs = $seconds_remaining;

$seconds_remaining = 0;

return array(
	'years' => $num_years,
	'days' => $num_days,
	'hours' => $num_hours,
	'minutes' => $num_mins,
	'seconds' => $num_secs
);

}


function timestamp_difference_units_to_string($diff){

$parts = array();

if($diff['years']>0){
	$parts[] = $diff['years'].' years';
}

if($diff['days']>0){
	$parts[] = $diff['days'].' days';
}

if($diff['hours']>0){
	$parts[] = $diff['hours'].' hours';
}

if($diff['minutes']>0){
	$parts[] = $diff['minutes'].' mins';
}

if($diff['seconds']>0){
	$parts[] = $diff['seconds'].' secs';
}

$last_part = array_pop($parts);

$retval = implode(', ', $parts);
if(count($parts)>0){
	$retval .= ' and '.$last_part;
}else{
	$retval .= $last_part;
}

return $retval;

}

Shouldn't

 $ts=$ts - time();

be

$ts=time() - $ts;

Ah! killerb! thanks!

I see what you have now, and i think ill just completely rewrite mine, tyvm
