Would be right?

<?php 
  dateTime();
?>

From my Google searches, I haven’t found a valid answer yet.

  • You can use the date_diff function to compare the date of publication with the current date, if you can post a simple example of your code it would be easier to explain.

    Do you want to display this information in a friendly format (like "posted 30 minutes ago"), or do you want to do calculations with it? How the posting date is stored in your database?

  • Hello, Anderson B. Furlan. Good tip, I’ll try to make it work. Thanks. bfavaretto, my intention is this same.

Using the time() strtotime() functions and comparing the dates, you can do it as follows:

class Data {

public static function ExibirTempoDecorrido($date)
{
    if(empty($date))
    {
        return "Informe a data";
    }

    $periodos = array("segundo", "minuto", "hora", "dia", "semana", "mês", "ano", "década");
    $duracao = array("60","60","24","7","4.35","12","10");

    $agora = time();
    $unix_data = strtotime($date);

    // check validity of date
    if(empty($unix_data))
    {  
        return "Bad date";
    }

    // is it future date or past date
    if($agora > $unix_data) 
    {  
        $diferenca     = $agora - $unix_data;
        $tempo         = "atrás";
    } 
    else 
    {
        $diferenca     = $unix_data - $agora;
        $tempo         = "agora";
    }

    for($j = 0; $diferenca >= $duracao[$j] && $j < count($duracao)-1; $j++) 
    {
        $diferenca /= $duracao[$j];
    }

    $diferenca = round($diferenca);

    if($diferenca != 1) 
    {
        $periodos[$j].= "s";
    }

    return "$diferenca $periodos[$j] {$tempo}";
}
}

Calling the function: 

print_r(Data::ExibirTempoDecorrido(date("12/31/2010")));

You’ll get the result:
