[Change log](#changelog)

Intro
=====

[](#intro)

### Note

[](#note)

This version is fork of fightbulc/moment.php and serves just temporary purpose until changes are accepted by maintainer.

### What is moment.php?

[](#what-is-momentphp)

Date library for parsing, manipulating and formatting dates w/ i18n.

### Any dependencies?

[](#any-dependencies)

PHP 5.4 or later since moment.php is based on php's [DateTime Class](http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php).

---

Install
=======

[](#install)

Easy install via composer. Still no idea what composer is? Inform yourself [here](http://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require northern-lights/moment
```

Or manually adding to composer.json:

```
{
    "require": {
        "northern-lights/moment": "*"
    }
}
```

---

Quick examples
==============

[](#quick-examples)

### Get a moment

[](#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\Moment('now', 'Europe/Berlin');
echo $m->format(); // e.g. 2012-10-03T12:00:00+0200

$m = new \Moment\Moment('2017-06-06T10:00:00', 'Europe/Berlin');
echo $m->format(); // e.g. 2012-10-03T12:00:00+0200

$m = new \Moment\Moment(1499366585);
echo $m->format(); // e.g. 2017-07-06T18:43:05+0000
```

---

### Accepted date formats

[](#accepted-date-formats)

Moment parses the following date formats as input:

```
const ATOM = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:sP'; // 2005-08-15T15:52:01+00:00
const COOKIE = 'l, d-M-y H:i:s T'; // Monday, 15-Aug-2005 15:52:01 UTC
const ISO8601 = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:sO'; // 2005-08-15T15:52:01+0000
const RFC822 = 'D, d M y H:i:s O'; // Mon, 15 Aug 05 15:52:01 +0000
const RFC850 = 'l, d-M-y H:i:s T'; // Monday, 15-Aug-05 15:52:01 UTC
const RFC1036 = 'D, d M y H:i:s O'; // Mon, 15 Aug 05 15:52:01 +0000
const RFC1123 = 'D, d M Y H:i:s O'; // Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:52:01 +0000
const RFC2822 = 'D, d M Y H:i:s O'; // Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:52:01 +0000
const RSS = 'D, d M Y H:i:s O'; // Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:52:01 +0000
const W3C = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:sP'; // 2005-08-15T15:52:01+00:00

// Moment also tries to parse dates without timezone or without seconds

const NO_TZ_MYSQL = 'Y-m-d H:i:s'; // 2005-08-15 15:52:01
const NO_TZ_NO_SECS = 'Y-m-d H:i'; // 2005-08-15 15:52
const NO_TIME = 'Y-m-d'; // 2005-08-15

// time fractions ".000" will be automatically removed
$timeWithFraction = '2016-05-04T10:00:00.000';
```

---

### Switch locale

[](#switch-locale)

Have a look at the `Locales` folder to see all supported languages. Default locale is `en_GB`.

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment();
echo $m->format('[Weekday:] l'); // e.g. Weekday: Wednesday

// set german locale
\Moment\Moment::setLocale('de_DE');

$m = new \Moment\Moment();
echo $m->format('[Wochentag:] l'); // e.g. Wochentag: Mittwoch
```

Another way to set locale in OOP fashion (dependency injection):

```
// set Norwegian locale - at this very moment, few locales are supported for this way
\Moment\Moment::setLocale(new \Moment\Locales\no_NB());

// You can also override locale definitions on the fly:
\Moment\Moment::setLocale(new \Moment\Locales\no_NB([
    'relativeTime' => [
        'future' => 'in %s'
    ]
]));

(...)
```

**Supported languages so far:**

`ar_TN` Arabic (Tunisia)
`ca_ES` Catalan
`zh_CN` Chinese
`zh_TW` Chinese (traditional)
`cs_CZ` Czech
`da_DK` Danish
`nl_NL` Dutch
`en_GB` English (British)
`en_US` English (American)
`fr_FR` French (Europe)
`de_DE` German (Germany)
`hu_HU` Hungarian
`in_ID` Indonesian
`it_IT` Italian
`ja_JP` Japanese
`oc_LNC` Lengadocian
`pl_PL` Polish
`pt_BR` Portuguese (Brazil)
`pt_PT` Portuguese (Portugal)
`ru_RU` Russian (Basic version)
`es_ES` Spanish (Europe)
`se_SV` Swedish
`no_NB` Norwegian `uk_UA` Ukrainian
`th_TH` Thai
`tr_TR` Turkish
`vi_VN` Vietnamese

---

### Switch timezones

[](#switch-timezones)

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-04-25T03:00:00', 'CET');
echo $m->setTimezone('UTC')->format(); // 2012-04-25T01:00:00+0000
```

#### Change default timezone

[](#change-default-timezone)

```
\Moment\Moment::setDefaultTimezone('CET');

$m = new \Moment\Moment('2016-09-13T14:32:06');
echo $m->format(); // 2016-09-13T14:32:06+0100
```

---

### Custom format

[](#custom-format)

#### I. PHP only (Standard)

[](#i-php-only-standard)

```
$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).

#### II. Non-php formats

[](#ii-non-php-formats)

You can now inject different format handling by passing along a class which implements the `FormatsInterface`. You can find an example within the test folder for implementing all formats from [moment.js](http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/). Thanks to [Ashish](https://github.com/ashishtilara) for taking the time to match `moment.js` formats to those of PHP. Have a look at the [test script](https://github.com/fightbulc/moment.php/blob/master/test/test.php) to see the example in action.

Everybody can write format classes in the same manner. Its easy and scalable.

```
// get  desired formats class
// create a moment
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-04-25T03:00:00', 'CET');

// format with moment.js definitions
echo $m->format('LLLL', new \Moment\CustomFormats\MomentJs()); // Wednesday, April 25th 2012 3:00 AM
```

`Custom formats` can also come as part of every `Locale`. If it does not exist for your locale yet go ahead and add it. See an example for the [French locale](https://github.com/fightbulc/moment.php/blob/master/src/Locales/fr_FR.php).

#### III. Easy text escaping

[](#iii-easy-text-escaping)

Just wrap all your text within `[]` and all characters will be automatically escaped for you.

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-04-25T03:00:00', 'CET');
echo $m->format('[We are in the month of:] F'); // We are in the month of: April
```

#### IV. Fixed ordinal representations

[](#iv-fixed-ordinal-representations)

PHP's interal ordinal calculation seems to be buggy. I added a quick fix to handle this issue.

The following example prints the week of the year of the given date. It should print `22nd`:

```
// internal function
date('WS', mktime(12, 22, 0, 5, 27, 2014)); // 22th

// moment.php
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2014-05-27T12:22:00', 'CET');
$m->format('WS'); // 22nd
```

---

### Create custom moments and manipulate it

[](#create-custom-moments-and-manipulate-it)

#### I. Past/Future moments

[](#i-pastfuture-moments)

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-05-15T12:30:00', 'CET');
echo $m->addHours(2)->format(); // 2012-05-15T14:30:00+0200

$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-05-15T12:30:00', 'CET');
echo $m->subtractDays(7)->subtractMinutes(15)->format(); // 2012-05-08T12:15:00+0200

$m = new \Moment\Moment('@1401443979', 'CET'); // unix time
echo $m->subtractDays(7)->subtractMinutes(15)->format(); // 2014-05-23T09:44:39+0000
```

#### II. Clone a given moment

[](#ii-clone-a-given-moment)

Sometimes its useful to take a given moment and work with it without changing the origin. For that use `cloning()`.

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-05-15T12:30:00', 'CET');
$c = $m->cloning()->addDays(1);

echo $m->getDay(); // 15
echo $c->getDay(); // 16
```

Alternately, you can enable immutable mode on the origin.

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2012-05-15T12:30:00', 'CET', true);
$c = $m->addDays(1);

echo $m->getDay(); // 15
echo $c->getDay(); // 16

// You can also change the immutable mode after creation:
$m->setImmutableMode(false)->subtractDays(1);

echo $m->getDay(); // 14
```

Immutable mode makes all modification methods call `cloning()` implicitly before applying their modifications.

#### III. Methods for manipulating the date/time

[](#iii-methods-for-manipulating-the-datetime)

AddSubtractaddSeconds($s)subtractSeconds($s)addMinutes($i)subtractMinutes($i)addHours($h)subtractHours($h)addDays($d)subtractDays($d)addWeeks($w)subtractWeeks($w)addMonths($m)subtractMonths($m)addYears($y)subtractYears($y)#### IV. Setter/Getter

[](#iv-settergetter)

SetterGettersetSecond($s)getSecond()setMinute($m)getMinute()setHour($h)getHour()setDay($d)getDay()setMonth($m)getMonth()setYear($y)getYear()--getQuarter()---

### Difference between dates

[](#difference-between-dates)

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2013-02-01T07:00:00');
$momentFromVo = $m->fromNow();

// or from a specific moment
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2013-02-01T07:00:00');
$momentFromVo = $m->from('2011-09-25T10:00:00');

// result comes as a value object class
echo $momentFromVo->getDirection()  // "future"
echo $momentFromVo->getSeconds()    // -42411600
echo $momentFromVo->getMinutes()    // -706860
echo $momentFromVo->getHours()      // -11781
echo $momentFromVo->getDays()       // -490.88
echo $momentFromVo->getWeeks()      // -70.13
echo $momentFromVo->getMonths()     // -17.53
echo $momentFromVo->getYears()      // -1.42
echo $momentFromVo->getRelative()   // in a year
```

---

### Get date periods (week, month, quarter)

[](#get-date-periods-week-month-quarter)

Sometimes its helpful to get the period boundaries of a given date. For instance in case that today is Wednesday and I need the starting-/end dates from today's week. Allowed periods are `week`, `month` and `quarter`.

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('2013-10-23T10:00:00');
$momentPeriodVo = $m->getPeriod('week');

// results comes as well as a value object class
echo $momentPeriodVo
    ->getStartDate()
    ->format('Y-m-d'); // 2013-10-21

echo $momentPeriodVo
    ->getEndDate()
    ->format('Y-m-d'); // 2013-10-27

echo $momentPeriodVo
    ->getRefDate()
    ->format('Y-m-d'); // 2013-10-23

echo $momentPeriodVo->getInterval(); // 43 = week of year
```

Same procedure for monthly and quarterly periods:

```
$momentPeriodVo = $m->getPeriod('month');
$momentPeriodVo = $m->getPeriod('quarter');
```

---

### Calendar Times

[](#calendar-times)

Calendar time displays time relative to `now`, but slightly differently than `Moment::fromNow()`. `Moment::calendar()` will format a date with different strings depending on how close to today the date is.

```
(new \Moment\Moment('2014-03-30T16:58:00', 'CET'))->subtractDays(6)->calendar(); // last week
(new \Moment\Moment('2014-03-30T16:58:00', 'CET'))->subtractDays(1)->calendar(); // yesterday
(new \Moment\Moment('2014-03-30T16:58:00', 'CET'))->calendar(); // today
(new \Moment\Moment('2014-03-30T16:58:00', 'CET'))->addDays(1)->calendar(); // tomorrow
(new \Moment\Moment('2014-03-30T16:58:00', 'CET'))->addDays(3)->calendar(); // next week
(new \Moment\Moment('2014-03-30T16:58:00', 'CET'))->addDays(10)->calendar(); // everything else
```

TimeDisplayLast weekLast Monday at 15:54The day beforeYesterday at 15:54The same dayToday at 15:54The next dayTomorrow at 15:54The next weekWednesday at 15:54Everything else04/09/2014**Note:** Use `$moment->calendar(false)` to leave out the time `at 00:00`.

---

### startOf / endOf

[](#startof--endof)

Same process as for moment.js: mutates the original moment by setting it to the start/end of a unit of time.

```
$m = new \Moment\Moment('20140515T10:15:23', 'CET');

$m->startOf('year');    // set to January 1st, 00:00 this year
$m->startOf('quarter');  // set to the beginning of the current quarter, 1st day of months, 00:00
$m->startOf('month');   // set to the first of this month, 00:00
$m->startOf('week');    // set to the first day of this week, 00:00
$m->startOf('day');     // set to 00:00 today
$m->startOf('hour');    // set to now, but with 0 mins, 0 secs
$m->startOf('minute');  // set to now, but with 0 seconds

$m->endOf('year');    // set to December 31st, 23:59 this year
$m->endOf('quarter');  // set to the end of the current quarter, last day of month, 23:59
$m->endOf('month');   // set to the last of this month, 23:59
$m->endOf('week');    // set to the last day of this week, 23:59
$m->endOf('day');     // set to 23:59 today
$m->endOf('hour');    // set to now, but with 59 mins, 59 secs
$m->endOf('minute');  // set to now, but with 59 seconds
```

**Note:** I ignored the period of `second` since we are not dealing with milliseconds.

### Get dates for given weekdays for upcoming weeks

[](#get-dates-for-given-weekdays-for-upcoming-weeks)

For one of my customers I needed to get moments by selected weekdays. **The task was:** give me the dates for `Tuesdays` and `Thursdays` for the next three weeks. So I added a small handler which does exactly this. As result you will receive an array filled with `Moment Objects`.

```
// 1 - 7 = Mon - Sun
$weekdayNumbers = [
    2, // tuesday
    4, // thursday
];

$m = new \Moment\Moment();
$dates = $m->getMomentsByWeekdays($weekdayNumbers, 3);

// $dates = [Moment, Moment, Moment ...]
```

You can now run through the result and put it formatted into a drop-down field or for whatever you might need it.
