[](#what-is-momentphp) Date library for parsing, manipulating and formatting dates. ### Any dependencies? [](#any-dependencies) PHP 5.3 or later since moment.php is based on php's [DateTime Class](http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php). Install ======= [](#install) Below you see the easiest setup to install moment: ``` { "require": { "fightbulc/moment": "1.0.*" } } ``` If you wanna add it to your existing project just use the package reference: `"fightbulc/moment": "1.0.*"`. Quick examples ============== [](#quick-examples) ### 1. Get a moment [](#1-get-a-moment) ``` $m = new \Moment\Moment(); // default is "now" UTC echo $m->format(); // e.g. 2012-10-03T10:00:00+0000 $m = new Moment('now', 'Europe/Berlin'); echo $m->format(); // e.g. 2012-10-03T12:00:00+0200 ``` ### 2. Custom format [](#2-custom-format) ``` $m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-04-25T03:00:00', 'CET'); echo $m->format('l, dS F Y / H:i (e)'); // Wednesday, 25th April 2012 / 03:00 (Europe/Berlin) ``` Formats are based on PHP's [Date function](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)and [DateTime class](http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php). ### 3. Switch timezones [](#3-switch-timezones) ``` $m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-04-25T03:00:00', 'CET'); echo $m->setTimezone('UTC')->format(); // 2012-04-25T01:00:00+0000 ``` ### 4. Create a custom moment and manipulate it [](#4-create-a-custom-moment-and-manipulate-it) ``` $m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-05-15T12:30:00', 'CET'); echo $m->add('hours', 2)->format(); // 2012-05-15T14:30:00+0200 $m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-05-15T12:30:00', 'CET'); echo $m->subtract('days', 7)->subtract('minutes', 15)->format(); // 2012-05-08T12:15:00+0200 ``` ### 5. Difference between dates [](#5-difference-between-dates) ``` $m = new \Moment\Moment('2013-02-01T07:00:00'); $difference = $m->fromNow(); // or from a specific moment $m = new \Moment\Moment('2013-02-01T07:00:00'); $difference = $m->from('2011-09-25T10:00:00'); // result comes as an array var_dump($difference); /* array(5) { ["seconds"]=> string(9) "-19630800" ["minutes"]=> string(7) "-327180" ["hours"]=> string(5) "-5453" ["days"]=> string(7) "-227.21" ["weeks"]=> string(6) "-32.46" } */ ``` Roadmap ======= [](#roadmap) ### Date validation [](#date-validation) Handle invalid dates. ### Useful date calculations [](#useful-date-calculations) Get the period by a given date. Valid periods would be: week, month, quarter, halfyear, year. ``` $m = new \Moment\Moment(); // Get the period for the given date $m->getPeriodByDate('2012-04-08', 'month'); // result as array [reference] => 2012-04-08, [start] => 2012-04-01, [end] => 2012-04-30, [interval] => 04 ``` Get date periods by a given interval. Valid periods would be: week, month, quarter, halfyear, year. ``` $m = new Moment(); // Get the period for the 2nd quarter of 2012 $m->getPeriodByInterval('2012', 'quarter', 2); // result as array [reference] => 2012-04-01, [start] => 2012-04-01, [end] => 2012-06-30, [interval] => 2 ``` License ======= [](#license) Moment.php is freely distributable under the terms of the MIT license.
