Thought it would be nice for users to see a date/time that
was more useful than a simple stamp.
Feel free to use this Cute Date...
<?php
/* Function to display a super user-friendly date string

"last Thursday")

function cuteDate($compared) {
$today= time(); // get it
$diff= $today-$compared; // subtract it
// return the cute string
switch($diff) {
case $diff < 120 : // ----------------------- Seconds
