This tutorial is prepared for those Developers who want to get users latitude and longitude.
This can be done by many methods, here I’m going to use Google Place API to make such things easier.
The method and logic I’m going to use is when user fills the registration form up, we’d capture his city value (Note: city value would be Google Place Search), before proceeding further you have to read my previous post Auto complete Address Search Module Using Google API and PHP, this is the module from which we ask user to enter their location, further this location is used to capture user’s coordinates using another Google API.
Latitude and Longitude are the entity that represents the coordinates at the geographic coordinate system.
For example, every actual house has its own address (which includes the house number, the street name, city, country, etc), every single dot on the surface of the earth can be specified by the latitude and longitude coordinates.
Therefore, by using these coordinates we can specify virtually any point on earth.
In my previous post we have learnt How to close a DIV container when clicking outside using Jquery, I know it’s kinda off topic, because in this topic we are going to learn to convert timestamp to time ago in PHP, but it is my duty to expose all those interesting articles so that you can learn more.
Guys If you have used Facebook and you update status on your wall, upload photo or share something on Facebook then after uploading it, It display time as Just Now or you can also see your previous post time, it show like one week or month or year or day ago.
Importance of this System (Facebook like time ago system in PHP)
It is common to show dates on the Web in the format such as Published on January 12th, 2017, or 05/17/2017, 09:40:25 and 2017-09-12.
Each of the above examples shows the full date or time of some kind of activity on web applications – be it a published blog article, or a visitor comment, or perhaps an uploaded video.
After all, they are informative and human readable!
