Is there a function or class out there that cleanly formats timespans with php?
Given 2 date-stamps: it would check if the both dates have the same year. If so remove one. Same month? remove one.
Example:
23 March 2002 – 13 January 2009 –> 23 March 2002 – 13 January 2009
23 March 2002 – 13 April 2002 –> 23 March – 13 April 2002
03 March 2002 – 15 March 2002 –> 03 – 15 March 2002
Maybe I should just do this with some if-else statements? It just looks messy but It might be the only way...
Just asking for some advice. Thanks!
Have a look at the built-in Date classes. They're really good. In this specific case, I think you're looking for DateTime::diff, which creates a DateInterval object.
