Isn't this a little bit nicer ?

//
// Generate a time past string
//
function time_past($timestamp, $until='') {

	global $lang;

	$seconds = ( ( is_int($until) ) ? $until : time() ) - $timestamp;

	$times = array();
	$sections = array(
		'weeks' => 604800,
		'days' => 86400,
		'hours' => 3600,
		'minutes' => 60,
		'seconds' => 0 );

	foreach( $sections as $what => $length ) {
		if ( $seconds >= $length ) {
			$times[$what] = ($length >0) ? floor($seconds / $length) : $length;
			$seconds %= $length;
		}
	}

	$sections = array();
	foreach ( $times as $key => $val )
		$sections[] = $val.' '.$lang[ucfirst($key)];

	return array($times, join(', ', $sections));
}

Thanks. I decided earlier not to accept external code but I guess I will make some exceptions.

Implemented in 0.4.1.

Oh,

$sections = array(
  'weeks' => 604800,
  'days' => 86400,
  'hours' => 3600,
  'minutes' => 60,
  'seconds' => 0
);

needed to be

$sections = array(
  'weeks' => 604800,
  'days' => 86400,
  'hours' => 3600,
  'minutes' => 60,
  'seconds' => 1
);

or the seconds would stay at 0.

thx for accepting the contribution and killing that bug
