This library was built with an intention to read and write date/timestamps to the database easily when working with PHP server code. Use cases for this library would involve reading and saving a timestamp to database in one format, but displaying it on client or html forms in another format. Maintaining a consistent PHP Date time format for both server side and client side validation should help in building extensible applications with various PHP frameworks easily. This library is a standalone javascript library and does not depend on other libraries or plugins like jQuery. Check the [CHANGE LOG](https://github.com/kartik-v/php-date-formatter/blob/master/CHANGE.md) for release details. Features -------- [](#features) - Parse date/time strings or a Date object, and convert it into Javascript Date Object by passing any of the [PHP DateTime formats](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php). - Automatically guess date/time strings, even if it does not exactly match the format, and convert it into Javascript Date Object. - Read date/time strings or a Date object, and format it as per a [PHP DateTime format](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php). - With release v1.3.2 the library has been converted to use pure javascript code without dependency on jQuery or other third party JS library.
