Hello. Please help me create a function to convert dates like
2010-10-04 17:45:50
Into something more pretty like
10 October at 17:45
And so it can hide years if they are not really needed and display date like
today/yesterday at 17:45
This is a bit similar to how Facebook displays past dates.
Try to use this class: I defined some constans to translate to spanish but you can ignore those or make the validation language for the others functions!!
You can focus on the functions: shortDateHuman(), longDateHuman(), shortTimeHuman(), longTimeHuman()
In order to use it you can do: $datetest=new Date($language); and then use
$datetest->longDateHuman();
In addition, you can check the function setGMTOffset if you need it.
class Date {
var $gmtoffset;
var $year;
var $month;
var $day;
var $hour;
var $minute;
var $second;
var $idioma;

//setlocale (LC_TIME,en_US);
list($this->year, $this->month, $this->day) = split("-", gmdate("Y-m-d"));
list($this->hour, $this->minute, $this->second) = split(":", gmdate("g:i:s"));
$this->gmtoffset = 0;
$this->idioma=$lang;
}
function getYear() {
return $this->year;
}
function setYear($year) {
$year = intval($year);
if($year >= 0) {
$this->year = $year;
} else {
//throw new Exception("Invalid year! Prior to 0 A.D.!");
}
return true;

function getMonth() {
