Parameters:
$content
(string)$wpm = 180
(int)

if (Time::isLeapYear()) {
// Do something

humanArray
Description:
Returns human time as an array.
NOTE: Due to discrepancies between the length of certain months and years (ie: leap year), elapsed time calculations for these units of time are approximate (30 days per month, 365 days per year).
Parameters:
$time_start
(int): Timestamp of starting time$time_end
(int): Timestamp of ending time$limit = 'year'
(string): Limit of time duration to calculate$language = NULL
(array|null): Custom language to return
Valid $limit
values are:
year
month
week
day
hour
minute
second
Passing a $language
array allows you to translate the words returned by this method. The array keys must match those of the default array, which is:
$language = [
'year' => 'year',
'years' => 'years',
'month' => 'month',
'months' => 'months',
'week' => 'week',
'weeks' => 'weeks',
'day' => 'day',
'days' => 'days',
'hour' => 'hour',
'hours' => 'hours',
'minute' => 'minute',
'minutes' => 'minutes',
'second' => 'second',
'seconds' => 'seconds',
'past' => 'ago',
'present' => 'just now',
'future' => 'to go'
];
Returns:
- (array)
Example:
use Bayfront\TimeHelpers\Time;
$start = time();
$end = time() + 51001;
print_r(Time::humanArray($start, $end, 'minute'));
