Question

I am developing an application using codeigniter. In my application I want to calculate the time period of the contents stored in database. for example facebook displays the uploaded time in browser. is there any way to do this using codeigniter?

Answer 1

I don’t use codeigniter but I think you can do this, in your database you create a date/hour field and in your script you simply use your system date to know the difference in hours, days or whatever you want to use to display.

something like this :

function (diference) {
    //all your sql traitement
    $time_elapsed = $system_date - $your_sql_result
    echo $time_elapsed;
}

And you can even do this with an SQL line too.
