Timer like facebook?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to make a timer like facebooks where it says "2 minutes ago" & "1 hour ago" etc...

If you save the time that the action is done at, then compare it against the current time and finally round the time - you would have a similar sort of idea

Save the timestamp.. (<?php $time = time(); ?>), then use a relative time function available almost anywhere.. (just Google around) to do it... be aware of timezones also if you've got a script used across many times zones.
