PHP-Convert a timestamp into facebook post time representation i.e years ago,months ago,weeks ago,days ago,hours ago,minutes ago,seconds ago format

This code is helpful for converting a timestamp field to a time stated as

years ago if it is more than an year ago
months ago if it is more than a month ago
week ago
days ago
hours ago
seconds ago

For example a post made yesterday will be shown as " 1 day ago"

Here goes the code
 <?php  
 $today = time();    
                 $createdday= strtotime($post['created']); //mysql timestamp of when post was created  
                 $datediff = abs($today - $createdday);  
                 $difftext="";  
                 $years = floor($datediff / (365*60*60*24));  
                 $months = floor(($datediff - $years * 365*60*60*24) / (30*60*60*24));  
                 $days = floor(($datediff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24)/ (60*60*24));  
                 $hours= floor($datediff/3600);  
                 $minutes= floor($datediff/60);  
                 $seconds= floor($datediff);  
                 //year checker  
                 if($difftext=="")  
                 {  
                   if($years>1)  
                    $difftext=$years." years ago";  
                   elseif($years==1)  
                    $difftext=$years." year ago";
