Timestamp help please

    Hi

    I’m using the below code to collect the timestamp of the time an image was uploaded using the BP-Album plugin, but need it to display in the same way that the activity stream displays time elapsed since i.e. “Posted 5 days, 17 hours ago”

    picture->date_uploaded; ?>

    Does anyone know how to convert it?

    I did track down the below but I couldn’t work out how to add the images timestamp to it. Any help would be really appreciated :)

    <?php

$time = strtotime('2010-04-28 17:25:43');

echo 'event happened '.humanTiming($time).' ago';

function humanTiming ($time)
{

$time = time() - $time; // to get the time since that moment

$tokens = array (
31536000 => 'year',
2592000 => 'month',
604800 => 'week',
86400 => 'day',
3600 => 'hour',
60 => 'minute',
1 => 'second'
);

foreach ($tokens as $unit => $text) {
if ($time < $unit) continue;
$numberOfUnits = floor($time / $unit);
return $numberOfUnits.' '.$text.(($numberOfUnits>1)?'s':'');
}
}

?>

    You probably need to use date_format()

    Something like:

    
$time = $pictures_template->picture->date_uploaded;
$time = date_format($time, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo 'event happened '.humanTiming($time).' ago';

    Note that BP has a function for this
    bp_core_time_since($time)
    but you’ll need to pass $time as a Unix timestamp.

    Thanks for the suggestion @shanebp but it didn’t seem to work. I think its because its missing the globe call for `global $pictures_template;`

    Any ideas how to tie this in?

    Cheers

    Seriously ?
    Did you try adding the global call ?
