        echo $fullDays ." days ago";
     }

You can use this function you have Pass message time as an argument

function convert_time($ptime){
        $etime = time() - $ptime;

        if($etime < 1){
            return '0 seconds';
        }

        $a = array( 12 * 30 * 24 * 60 * 60  =>  'year',
                    30 * 24 * 60 * 60       =>  'month',
                    24 * 60 * 60            =>  'day',
                    60 * 60                 =>  'hour',
                    60                      =>  'minute',
                    1                       =>  'second'
                );

        foreach ($a as $secs => $str){
            $d = $etime / $secs;
            if($d >= 1){
                $r = round($d);
                return $r . ' ' . $str . ($r > 1 ? 's' : '') . ' ago';
            }
        }
    }

In this function you can get "(1) second/minute/hour/day/month/year ago"
