timespan help - El Forum - 06-20-2011

Hi,
I want to convert a timestamp which I have saved in my db to say X days ago, or X hours ago, a bit like how its done on facebook.
I have came across timespan but its displaying the wrong time...my database seems to store timestamps like 0000-00-00 00:00:00 whereas I think it needs to be like this instead 123456789
I am using timespan like this...
Code:
$post_date = $record['created'];
$now = time();
echo timespan($post_date, $now);If you can help me fix this, that would be great.
Thanks
