Here is the php code for the same:
function time_since($since) { $chunks = array( array(60 * 60 * 24 * 365 , 'year'), array(60 * 60 * 24 * 30 , 'month'), array(60 * 60 * 24 * 7, 'week'), array(60 * 60 * 24 , 'day'), array(60 * 60 , 'hour'), array(60 ,... .

Check out the documentation here: http://ca3.php.net/strtotime
strtotime( '-1 month', $timestamp );
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
<?php $date = new DateTime("18-July-2008 16:30:30"); echo... .
In php you can use strtotime("-1 month").

DateTime.Now.AddDays(-180)
DateTime oneEightyAgo = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-180);
DateTime....
DateTime.Now.AddDays(-180)
EDIT:
DateTime day180 = Date.Now.AddDays(-180);
It's important to put it into a separate variable otherwise the value will be lost .

I'm using 'time_ago_in_words' function in a view, and I need to test the output in the FunctionalTest.
But the test can not see 'time_ago_in_words' helper function.
What should I do in order to use these helper methods from FunctionalTests?

If you load a page and it says "posted 5 minutes ago" and look again 5 minutes later, it says "posted 10 minutes ago"
You can also do this in SQL:

How to check whether the given date is earlier than a month ago? What is the fastest algorithm? I have to take into account that different months have different numbers of days.

Hi,
Does anyone have a simple function to hand for converting a date to a simple string (using .Net)?
E.g. 14-Oct-09 would read "Today", 13-Oct-09 would read "Yesterday" and 7-Oct-09 would read "1 Week Ago" etc...
Cheers, Tim

I wrote a SQL function to convert a datetime value in SQL to a friendlier "n Hours Ago" or "n Days Ago" etc type of message. And I was wondering if there was a better way to do it.
