Try using doubleval instead of intval.

intval returns an integer, which may not have an adequate range for times.

You should also look at the PHP: strtotime - Manual functions.

thanks for the tip wirehopper ...:-)

ok i made some progress with help from xoops community

right now the code will only show seconds value for the first 60 seconds and when it less than an hour

what if i want to show seconds only for first 60 seconds ?

PHP Code:

//credit to jcbones of Hotscripts.com

function timeDifference($start,$end,$return='days') {
    //change times to Unix timestamp.
    //$start = strtotime($start);
    //$end = strtotime($end);
    //subtract dates
//echo 'Start Timestamp: ' . $start . '<br/>End Timestamp: ' . $end . '<br/>';
    $difference = max($end, $start) - min($end,$start);
    $time = NULL;
    //calculate time difference.
    switch($return) {
        case 'days':
             $days = floor($difference/86400);
                $difference = $difference % 86400;
                    $time['days'] = $days;
        case 'hours':
            $hours = floor($difference/3600);
                $difference = $difference % 3600;
                    $time['hours'] = $hours;
        case 'minutes':
            $minutes = floor($difference/60);
                $difference = $difference % 60;
                    $time['minutes'] = $minutes;
        case 'seconds':
            $seconds = $difference;
                $time['seconds'] = $seconds;
    }
    
    $output = array();
    if(is_array($time))
        foreach($time as $key => $value) {
            if(($value > 0) && (count($output) < 2)) {


                $output[] = $value . ' ' . ucwords($key);
            }
        }
        return implode(',',$output);
    }






$now = time();
$hours = 24;
$kira=0;
$time = ( intval( $hours ) > 0 ) ? time() - ( intval( $hours ) * 3600 ) : ( time() - 24*3600 );
global $xoopsDB;


echo "<table><tr>";
$sql = "SELECT distinct uid, uname, user_avatar, last_login FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("users")." WHERE level > 0 AND uid NOT IN (0) AND last_login >= '" . $time . "' ORDER BY last_login DESC";
$result = $xoopsDB->query($sql);

while (list($uid, $uname,$user_avatar,$last_login) = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($result) ) {
//Put this variable in the echo statements where you would like them to show up.
$sinceLastLogin = ' ' . timeDifference($last_login,$now,'hours') . ' ago ';
$kira++;
if ($user_avatar == 'blank.gif')
{
echo "<td style='padding:5px;text-align:center'><a href='".XOOPS_URL."/userinfo.php?uid=".$uid."'><img src='".XOOPS_URL."/uploads/blank_avatar.gif' title='".$uname."' border='0' alt='".$uname."' height='48' width='48'></a><br /><a href='".XOOPS_URL."/userinfo.php?uid=".$uid."'>".$uname."</a><br />$sinceLastLogin</td>";
}

else

{
echo "<td style='padding:5px;text-align:center'><a href='".XOOPS_URL."/userinfo.php?uid=".$uid."'><img src='".XOOPS_URL."/uploads/".$user_avatar."' title='".$uname."' border='0' alt='".$uname."' height='48' width='48'></a><br /><a href='".XOOPS_URL."/userinfo.php?uid=".$uid."'>".$uname."</a><br />$sinceLastLogin</td>";
}

if($kira == 4)

 {

  echo "</tr><tr>";

 }}

echo "</tr></table>"; 

PHP Code:

    $output = array();
    if(is_array($time))
        foreach($time as $key => $value) {
            if(($value > 0) && (count($output) < 2)) {

This will show:
Hours if it is greater than 0;
Minutes if they are greater than 0;
Seconds if they are greater than 0, and if Hours and Minutes are == 0;

PHP Code:

function timeDifference($start,$end,$return='days') {
    //change times to Unix timestamp.
    //$start = strtotime($start);
    //$end = strtotime($end);
    //subtract dates
//echo 'Start Timestamp: ' . $start . '<br/>End Timestamp: ' . $end . '<br/>';
    $difference = max($end, $start) - min($end,$start);
    $time = NULL;
    //calculate time difference.
    switch($return) {
        case 'days':
             $days = floor($difference/86400);
                $difference = $difference % 86400;
                    $time['days'] = $days;
        case 'hours':
            $hours = floor($difference/3600);
                $difference = $difference % 3600;
                    $time['hours'] = $hours;
        case 'minutes':
            $minutes = floor($difference/60);
                $difference = $difference % 60;
                    $time['minutes'] = $minutes;
        case 'seconds':
            $seconds = $difference;
                $time['seconds'] = $seconds;
    }
    
    $output = array();
       if(is_array($time)) {
        $showSec = true;
                    if(isset($time['hours']) && $time['hours'] > 0) {
                        $output[] = $time['hours'] . ' Hours';
                        $showSec = false;
                    }
                    
                    if(isset($time['minutes']) && $time['minutes'] > 0) {
                        $output[] = $time['minutes'] . ' Minutes';
                        $showSec = false;
                    }
                    
                    if(isset($time['seconds']) && $showSec == true) {
                        return $time['seconds'] . ' Seconds';
                    }
                
        
            return implode(', ',$output);
        }
}
