Working with Zend_Date is funny but there is one thing i need and its not integrated in Zend_Date until now. So ive written my own extension to Zend_Date to handle the display of relative dates in my output.

Here are some examples of relative Dates which could be generated by this Script:

  • A minute ago
  • x minutes ago (up to 59)
  • Today, HH:MM
  • Yesterday, HH:MM

Unterneath, you can see my class. Feel free to use it in your own projects.
