Examples / Usage

use Ixnode\PhpDateParser\DateParser;

Date parser (UTC)

print (new DateParser('2023-07-01'))->formatFrom('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// 2023-07-01 00:00:00

print (new DateParser('2023-07-01'))->formatTo('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// 2023-07-01 23:59:59

Word parser (UTC)

• Imagine that now is the time: 2023-07-07 12:34:56

print (new DateParser('today'))->formatFrom('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// 2023-07-07 00:00:00

print (new DateParser('today'))->formatTo('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// 2023-07-07 23:59:59

Date parser with timezones

• Input: America/New_York
• Output: Europe/Berlin

/* Parses given date time from timezone America/New_York; Output to timezone Europe/Berlin */
print (new DateParser('<2023-07-01', 'America/New_York'))->formatFrom('Y-m-d H:i:s', 'Europe/Berlin');
// null

/* Parses given date time from timezone America/New_York; Output to timezone Europe/Berlin */
print (new DateParser('<2023-07-01', 'America/New_York'))->formatTo('Y-m-d H:i:s', 'Europe/Berlin');
// 2023-07-01 05:59:59

Working with DateRange class

/* Parses given date time from timezone America/New_York */
$dateParser = (new DateParser('2023-07-01', 'America/New_York'));

/* Sets default output to timezone Asia/Tokyo */
$dateRange = $dateParser->getDateRange('Asia/Tokyo');

print $dateRange->getFrom()?->format('Y-m-d H:i:s (e)');
// 2023-07-01 13:00:00 (Asia/Tokyo)

print $dateRange->getTo()?->format('Y-m-d H:i:s (e)');
// 2023-07-02 12:59:59 (Asia/Tokyo)

Time is greater than parser (>from)

• Imagine that now is the time: 2023-07-07 12:34:56
• "To" values are NULL

• ¹⁾ - excluding the given one
• ²⁾ - including the given one

Time is less than parser (<to)

Range parser (from|to)

• Imagine that now is the time: 2023-07-07 12:34:56

Infinitive range parser (NULL)
