Put out the age of a date in words

You might want to add to that to take care of the plurals, i.e. 1 weeks really should be 1 week

Just past week I had to implement the same, here is the result:

function ago( /*timestamp*/ $date ) {
$ago = time() - $date;

$ranges = array(
31536000 => array( 'year', 'years' ),
2419200 => array( 'month', 'months' ),
604800 => array( 'week', 'weeks' ),
86400 => array( 'day', 'days' ),
3600 => array( 'hour', 'hours' ),
60 => array( 'minute', 'minutes' ),
);

$parts = array();
foreach( $ranges as $seconds => $sufix ) {
$t = floor($ago / $seconds);

if ( $t > 0 ) {
return $t . ' ' . $sufix[ $t>1 ? 1 : 0 ] . ' ago';
}
}

return 'just now';
}

You can modify it to include years as well. Here's my modified version which changes your last "else {" loop

} else {
$total_months = $months = floor($timestamp_diff/60/60/24/30);
if($months >= 12) {
$months = ($total_months % 12);
$years = ($total_months - $months)/12;
echo $years . " Years ";
}
if($months > 0)
echo $months . " Months";
}

PS; I've changed the "return" to "echo" - just for testing purposes
