If you are using this for your own Twitter feed reader, just send a strtotime($created_at_string_from_twitter_timeline) into the function as the parameter.
And thanks. This is way prettier than my version. I will definitely put a link to this post in my new stolen version!

I’ve ported this to JS, if anyone is interested. This would allow the page up be updated with the current “time since” in real time: http://pastebin.com/e4chahvG

Hemm I cant seem to get this to work I have a add_post function that add’s the users post and as well as the time stamp. and I am trying to do this

$sql = “insert into posts (user_id, body, stamp)
values ($userid, ‘” . mysql_real_escape_string($body) . “‘, ‘”. $print .”‘)”;

This ^^^^ is from another function
