I’m looking for a PHP library that generates user-friendly representations of times – for example “two hours ago” when the timestamp is time() - 2 * 3600.

There are several existing questions with answers and blog posts (1, 2, 3), but all only contain code snippets – not a library I can install and upgrade.

Django has one, Python also has a standalone lib, Javascript has several (1, 2, 3), too – where is the PHP library?

A library should have the following things:

  • documentation
  • PEAR installable
  • regular releases
  • (optional) translations

    Since there didn’t seem to be any library, I’ve made one myself and got it included in PEAR:

    Date_HumanDiff, http://pear.php.net/package/Date_HumanDiff

    Code is at http://github.com/pear/Date_HumanDiff
