working in qa

i am getting back a global variable last modified time and want to display how far back it was in years,month,day,hours,minutes and seconds.

 

How can i do that?

i can minues one time from the other time, how do i then convert that in to a format as above?

A bit strange to ask for months and years... how many days in the months? leap year or not?

Usually days, hours,minutes and seconds make sense

I have seen programmers divide "days" by 30 (or by 30.4 if you want to be pedantic) for logging purposes. Imho that makes sense, "6,6 months" is easier to grasp than "200 days". To understand 200 days, my brain will try to divide by 30 anyway, then decide 210 is easier to divide and close enough ... to end up saying "about 7 months"
