Summary
Function: string TimeAgo( integer tm );Returns a string that will give you the difference in time.
• integer | tm | – | Unix Time used for difference |

string TimeAgo(integer time) {
// time difference in seconds integer now = llGetUnixTime(); integer timeDifference = now - time;
// small bug fix for when diff is 0 if (timeDifference == 0) return "just now";
list periods = ["second", "minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "year", "decade"];
//the number equivalent to pds list lenghts = [1, 60, 3600, 86400, 604800, 2630880, 31570560, 315705600];
integer v = llGetListLength(lenghts) - 1; integer no;
while((0 <= v) && (no = timeDifference/llList2Integer(lenghts, v) <= 1)) --v;
string output = llList2String(periods, v);
//this will get the correct time in pds, then divide the dif integer ntime = timeDifference / llList2Integer(lenghts, llListFindList(periods, [output]));
//if integer 'no' is not equal to 1 then it should have an s at the end if(no != 1) output += "s";
//This produces the finished output output = (string)ntime + " "+ output + " ago"; return output;

// integer time is the current unix time minus 180 seconds (3 minutes) // the outcome will be "3 minutes ago"
