See `humanize` for a full example list ``` $this->EpocTools = new EpocTools(); $this->EpocTools->Age(strtotime('2011-01-01'), strtotime('2011-01-02')) // Reutns '1 day' $this->EpocTools->Age(strtotime('2011-01-01 22:00'), strtotime('2011-01-02 23:00')) // Reutns '1 day, 1 hour' ``` `date` - Return the time at midnight of an epoc ----------------------------------------------- [](#date---return-the-time-at-midnight-of-an-epoc) When given any epoc style date this function sets the time of that epoc to midnight precicely. ``` $this->EpocTools = new EpocTools(); $this->EpocTools->date(time()); // Returns the epoc at midnight today $this->EpocTools->date(strtotime('2011-01-01 04:32:21')); // Returns midnight on 01/01/2011 ``` `epocdateend` - Return the last second of a given epoc date ----------------------------------------------------------- [](#epocdateend---return-the-last-second-of-a-given-epoc-date) In contrast to `epocdate` this function returns the last possible second of a given date. ``` $this->EpocTools = new EpocTools(); $this->EpocTools->dateend(time()); // Returns the last possible second of todays date $this->EpocTools->dateend(strtotime('2011-01-01 04:32:21')); // Returns 23:59:59 on 01/01/2011 ``` `getstamp` - The inverse of `date()` ------------------------------------ [](#getstamp---the-inverse-of-date) This function takes a given string and converts it into a date using the template provided. This is in contrast to the default PHP Date() function which does the opposit. ``` $this->EpocTools = new EpocTools(); $this->EpocTools->getstamp('d/m/Y H:M','02/07/1983 1035'); // Returns unix timestamp 425952900 ``` `humanize` - Returns a sequence of seconds in human format ---------------------------------------------------------- [](#humanize---returns-a-sequence-of-seconds-in-human-format) This function can be used to return how far an event occurs in the past or future relative to the current time ``` $this->EpocTools = new EpocTools(); $this->EpocTools->Humanize(time() - 60); // Returns '60 seconds ago' $this->EpocTools->Humanize(time() - 5400); // Returns '1 hour, 30 minutes ago' $this->EpocTools->Humanize(time() - 72576000); // Returns '2 weeks ago' ``` A vareity of options can be specified including how many time scales should be selected (i.e. how specific) for example '2 weeks, 1 hour' would have two blocks, '2 weeks, 1 hour, 38 minutes, 42 seconds' would have four. `shorthand` - Return the number of seconds from a human readable time shorthand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#shorthand---return-the-number-of-seconds-from-a-human-readable-time-shorthand) This function returns the number of seconds determined from a shorthand time string. ``` $this->EpocTools = new EpocTools(); $this->EpocTools->Shorthand('1h') // Returns 3600 (1 hour - 60*60) $this->EpocTools->Shorthand('1h30m') // Returns 5400 (1 hour 30 minutes - 60*60 + 30*60) $this->EpocTools->Shorthand('2w') // Returns 72576000 (2 weeks - 7*24*60*60*60*2) ``` ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
