Installation

Using Composer

composer require fyre/datetime

In PHP:

use Fyre\DateTime\DateTime;

Date Creation

• $dateString is a string representing the date, and will default to the current timestamp.
• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

$dateTime = new DateTime($dateString, $timeZone, $locale);

From Array

• $dateArray is an array containing the year, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

$dateTime = DateTime::fromArray($dateArray, $timeZone, $locale);

The month and date in the $dateArray will default to 1 if not set. The hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds will default to 0.

From DateTime

• $dateTime is an instance of a class implementing DateTimeInterface.
• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

$newDateTime = DateTime::fromDateTime($dateTime, $timeZone, $locale);

From Format

• $formatString is a string containing the format you wish to use for parsing.
• $dateString is a string representing the date you are parsing.
• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

The $formatString supports tokens described in the ICU specification.

$dateTime = DateTime::fromFormat($formatString, $dateString, $timeZone, $locale);

From ISO String

• $dateString is a string representing the date you are parsing.
• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

$dateTime = DateTime::fromISOString($dateString, $timeZone, $locale);

From Timestamp

• $timestamp is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.
• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

$dateTime = DateTime::fromTimestamp($timestamp, $timeZone, $locale);

Now

• $timeZone is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
• $locale is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.

$dateTime = DateTime::now($timeZone, $locale);

Date Formatting

Format

Once you have created a DateTime object, you can get a string representation using a specific format with the format method.

• $formatString is a string containing the format you wish to output using.

The $formatString supports tokens described in the ICU specification.

$dateString = $dateTime->format($formatString);

To String

Format the current date using "eee MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss xx (VV)".

$string = $dateTime->toString();

To Date String

Format the current date using "eee MMM dd yyyy".

$dateString = $dateTime->toDateString();

To ISO String

Format the current date using "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSxxx" (in English and UTC time zone).

$isoString = $dateTime->toISOString();

To Time String

Format the current date using "HH:mm:ss xx (VV)".

$timeString = $dateTime->toTimeString();

To UTC String

Format the current date using "eee MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss xx (VV)" (in UTC time zone).

$utcString = $dateTime->toUTCString();
