  1. Thanks a bunch for this!

  2. Thank you very much

  3. Here's the PHP version:

    function ago($a) {
            
        $b = strtotime("now"); 
        $c = strtotime($a);
        $d = $b - $c;
        $minute = 60;
        $hour = $minute * 60;
        $day = $hour * 24;
        $week = $day * 7;
            
        if(is_numeric($d) && $d > 0) {
            
            if($d < 3) return "right now";
            if($d < $minute) return floor($d) . " seconds ago";
            if($d < $minute * 2) return "about 1 minute ago";
            if($d < $hour) return floor($d / $minute) . " minutes ago";
            if($d < $hour * 2) return "about 1 hour ago";
            if($d < $day) return floor($d / $hour) . " hours ago";
            if($d > $day && $d < $day * 2) return "yesterday";
            if($d < $day * 365) return floor($d / $day) . " days ago";
            
            return "over a year ago";
        }
    }
