Synopsis

<?php

use BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\DateTime as EnDateTime;

require 'autoload.php'

$bongabda = new BnDateTime('2016-04-22 05:26:47 pm', new DateTimeZone('Asia/Dhaka'));
$bongabda->setDate(1398, 1, 1);

echo $bongabda->format('l jS F Y b h:i:s') . PHP_EOL ;
echo $bongabda->enFormat('l jS F Y h:i:s a') . PHP_EOL;

Installation/Usage

If you're using Composer to manage dependencies, you can include the following in your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "ronisaha/easy-bangla-date": "dev-master"
}

Then, after running composer update or php composer.phar update, you can load the class using Composer's autoloading:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Otherwise, you can simply require the given autoload.php file:

require_once 'PATH_TO_LIBRARY/autoload.php';

And in either case, I'd suggest using an alias for BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\DateTime Class to distinguish between native DateTime Class.

use BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\DateTime as EnDateTime;

Methods/Features

Both BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\DateTime and BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\BnDateTime has the member functions as native DateTime class.

DateTime

you can use enFormat function to get output in english.

BnDateTime

BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\BnDateTime got extra method setMorning to define a hour for start of day. By default day start at 6.
Along with all format options of native DateTime class, we have extra option b which will print ('ভোর', 'সকাল', 'দুপুর', 'বিকাল', 'সন্ধ্যা', 'রাত')
Use setDate($year, $month, $day) to set bengali date
getDateTime method will return object of BanglaDatetimeFormat\Types\DateTime for current object.
