I guess you cant post PHP within PHP tags…

echo time_duration(123, ‘yMd’);
echo time_duration(0);

toto, both years and months use the astronomical mean. Do you really think your visitors care if you’re half a day off on a date that’s a year away?

This is a great function. The best one i’ve seen after days of googling the web. Just be aware that the function will break if the time duration is zero. To work for 0 time duration just add:

if (empty($segments)){
$segments['seconds'] = 0;
}

before you build the string

This is great! Exactly what I was looking for. I even was able to modify the days value to 7 hours (work time of the day) to adapt it to my use. However I can’t get the $zero = true to work. It still shows 0 days…
And last, how can I get the names to be French? Example: “days: display as “jours”. Thanks!
