This library parses various given date and time strings into DateTime or DateTimeImmutable classes which return the time range. Can be used e.g. excellently for command line arguments and options to make database queries with.

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)
