On following function, I used 2 identical variables because inside is different language, I need help to replace this variable $periods[$j] .= "";
example:
function showdate($time)
{
$periods = array("second", "minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "year", "decade");
$periods2 = array("seconds", "minutes", "hours", "days", "weeks", "months", "years", "decade");
$lengths = array("60","60","24","7","4.35","12","10");
$now = time();
$difference = $now - $time;
$tense = "ago";
for ($j = 0; $difference >= $lengths[$j] && $j < count($lengths)-1; $j++)
{
$difference /= $lengths[$j];
}
$difference = round($difference);
if ($difference != 1)
{
**/* In this case, I need to show this variable: $periods2 */**
$periods[$j] .= "";
}
return "$difference $periods[$j] $tense";
}
You can just write $periods[$j] = $periods2[$j]
, but I think making another variable is better.
function showdate($time){
$periods = array("second", "minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "year", "decade");
$periods2 = array("seconds", "minutes", "hours", "days", "weeks", "months", "years", "decade");
$lengths = array("60","60","24","7","4.35","12","10");
$now = time();
$difference = $now - $time;
$tense = "ago";
for($j = 0; $difference >= $lengths[$j] && $j < count($lengths)-1; $j++)
$difference /= $lengths[$j];
$difference = round($difference);
$pText = $periods[$j];
if($difference>1) $pText = $periods2[$j];
return "$difference $pText $tense";
}
