How to solve Problem with date method in the Yii2?

Have timestamp for the task in the MySQL - 1654423473. https://www.epochconverter.com/ correctly transforming this timestamp into the GMT: Sunday, 5 June 2022 г., 10:04:33. That is date of task creation. Using this Yii2 method I outputting this data in the view -

public function getWasOnSite()
{
    $timePeriod = strtotime('now') - strtotime($this->dt_add);
    return \Yii::$app->formatter->asDuration($timePeriod);
}

And expecting some days, minutes, etc, but seeing this -1450 years, 11 months, 30 days, 17 hours, 3 minutes, 45 seconds ago

How to remake into the correct variant?

If you already have unix timestamp in $this->dt_add then you shouldn't pass it into strtotime(). If you pass unix timestamp to that function it will return false.

Then if you do strtotime('now') - false the false is converted to 0 and you are left with current timestamp in $timePeriod instead of difference. You should directly subtract $this->dt_add from current timestamp.

Also, you don't need to call strtotime('now') to get current timestamp. You can use time() function instead.

So, your whole code can look like this:

public function getWasOnSite() 
{
    $timePeriod = time() - $this->dt_add;
    return \Yii::$app->formatter->asDuration($timePeriod);
}
