Answer 1

function time_ago($timestamp, $granularity = 2) {
  $timestamp = time() - $timestamp;
  $units = array('1 year|%d years' => 31536000, 
                 '1 week|%d weeks' => 604800, 
                 '1 day|%d days' => 86400, 
                 '1 hour|%d hours' => 3600, 
                 '1 min|%d mins' => 60, 
                 '1 sec|%d secs' => 1
                );
  $output = '';
  foreach ($units as $key => $value) {
    $key = explode('|', $key);
    if ($timestamp >= $value) {
      $pluralized = floor($timestamp / $value) > 1 ? 
                    sprintf($key[1], floor($timestamp / $value)) : 
                    $key[0];
      $output .= ($output ? ' ' : '') . $pluralized;
      $timestamp %= $value;
      $granularity--;
    }
    if ($granularity == 0) {
      break;
    }
  }
  return $output ? $output : "Just now";
}

This should be close.

Edit: added this line: $timestamp = time() - $timestamp;
