Yes, it should, you are correct. I'm on the road at the moment, but I will update when I have a chance.

Thanks for the note.]]> http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1628 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 16:48:40 +0000 http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1617 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:06:54 +0000
It probably is best practice to declare it first with a null value, but the variable will be created when first called, and it should be called within the if/else.

Maybe the MySQL datetime you're sending it isn't valid and therefore $retval is never created? In which case, declaring it would simple return a null value I would think. Not really sure how you used it within your own script, but if you've got it working now, it's all good I suppose.]]> http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1616 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:28:45 +0000
Before using [b]$retval .= ...[/b], shouldn't you declare [b]$retval = '';[/b] beforehand?

Thanks for the script!]]> http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1507 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 22:12:24 +0000 http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1505 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 14:27:29 +0000
$time = time_ago($message['pubdate']);
echo sprintf( __('%s', 'twitter-for-wordpress'),' '.$time);

Sorry for the slow reply, been crazy busy lately.]]> http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1501 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:37:49 +0000
$time = strtotime($message['pubdate']);

echo sprintf( __('%s', 'twitter-for-wordpress'),' '. date('m/d/Y H:ia', $time). '' );]]> http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1496 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:48:09 +0000 http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1495 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:30:01 +0000 http://www.mdj.us/web-development/php-programming/another-variation-on-the-time-ago-php-function-use-mysqls-datetime-field-type/#comment-1442 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 13:01:51 +0000
I have updated it to say "posted just now" when under 5 seconds, the user can change that to 1 second or any other value they like.]]>
