timesince() difficulties
timeSince() doesn't appear to be working for me. What should be something around 30 minutes comes back as 12/31/1969. Essentially,
[code]
$myDate = time(); //
The Date helper provides functions useful for working with dates and times. These are general functions that any application or website might find useful.)
Loading the Helper
$date = Loader::helper(‘date’);
Methods
$r = $date->getLocalDateTime($systemDateTime = ‘now’, $mask = null)
Returns a date/time while checking a logged-in user’s timezone (if user timezones are enabled.)
Arguments
- $systemDateTime - Will typically be “now”. This is passed to the PHP DateTime class. Other examples could be any sort of human-readable date.
- $mask - null. This is the return format of the date, as specified by the date() function.
print $date->getLocalDateTime(); print $date->getLocalDateTime(‘now’, ‘F d, Y’);
$r = $date->getSystemDateTime($userDateTime = now’, $mask = null)
Converts a user entered datetime to the system datetime. Returns a date string.
array $timezones = $date->getTimezones();
Gets a list of all timezones available.
string $timeRemaining = $date->timeSince($postTime, $precise = 0)
Returns a date string in a specific format, useful for a newsfeed, since a particular $postTime. If $precise == 1, the returns are more precise.
$r = $date->timeSince($dateOfMyPost, 1); print $r; // “2 days, 1 hour”
