如何以人工格式(时间之前等）但以多语言风格获得时差

答案是否定的，但这可能会有所帮助：

}

注册后，从您的角度这样称呼它：

<?php echo $this->timeDiff($object->pastTimestamp) ?> $this->_xlate('ago');

示例输出：

1 année 5 mois 15 jours 21 heures 56 minutes il ya
1 год 5 месяца 15 дня 22 часа 1 минута назад

请注意，helper不处理"ago"部分，在某些语言（法语）中，该部分位于差异的前面，而在其他语言（英语）中，它位于末尾。你还需要在你自己的翻译文件中定义这个翻译字符串，ZF没有它的翻译。理想情况下，逻辑会被构建到助手中，但我没有这样做。

希望能有所帮助。

时间戳是一个数字，您可以简单地将开始时间与结束时间相减以获得差值。你可以这样做：

public function timeDiff($timestampFrom, $timestampTo) {
$timeDiff = new Zend_Date($timestampTo - $timestampFrom, Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);
$output = "il y a ";
//Check the number of days:
if($timeDiff->getTimestamp > 60*60*24) $output .= $timeDiff->get(Zend_Date::DAY).' jours, ';
//Check the hours
if($timeDiff->getTimestamp > 60*60) $output .= $timeDiff->get(Zend_Date::HOUR).' heures, ';
//Check the minutes
if($timeDiff->getTimestamp > 60) $output .= $timeDiff->get(Zend_Date::MINUTE).' minutes et ';
//Check the seconds
$output .= $timeDiff->get(Zend_Date::SECOND)." secondes";
return $output;
}

Matthieu的评论是对的，法语中没有"y li a"这个词。你的意思可能是"ily a"。）
