Introduction
DateSpace is a powerful PHP library mainly used for calculating the amount of time between two different dates and produce the exact period of time in all time units (seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc). It can make the date simpler & smarter than its usual format. So instead of displaying the date in the form of (e.g. 27 Feb 2011 9:00 PM), it can be simply displayed like (e.g. 4 hours and 35 minutes ago).
Besides the calculation of date intervals, dateSpace allows manipulation of dates and conversion of dates between different date/time formats.
DateSpace comes with 9 languages (English, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Persian, Portuguese, Spanish).
An example of how this class works is Facebook.
The wordpress plugin: DateSpace comes with a wordpress plugin that integrate the dateSpace library into wordpress. (Look at the screenshots)
