This package extends the features of PHP [DateTime](http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php)and [DateTimeZone](http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetimezone.php) classes to ease the handling of times, time zones, and time zone locations. Getting the UTC or local representation of a time, formatting the time to a predefined format, accessing common properties such as day, month, year, quarter, and more has been made especially easy. Also, all instances can be used as strings.
