Extendable Library to format DateTimes using Zend-Frameworks Date-Constants

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require org_heigl/date-formatter`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Org_Heigl\DateFormatter\FormatterFacade as Formatter;

$date = new DateTime('2013-12-03 12:23:34', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));

echo Formatter::format($date, 'PDF');
// Prints "20131203122334+01'00'"
```

Currently the following formatters are available:

- PDF
- ATOM
- COOKIE
- RFC\_822
- RFC\_850
- RFC\_1036
- RFC\_1123
- RFC\_3339
- RSS
- W3C
- MYSQL

Extending
---------

[](#extending)

You can add your own formatter by creating a class that implements the `Org_Heigl\DateFormatter\Formatter\FormatterInterface`. This class can then either be used directly like in this example:

```
use Org_Heigl\DateFormatter\DateFormatter as Formatter;

$formatter = new Formatter(new MyCoolClassImplementingFormatterInterface());

$date = new DateTime('2013-12-03 12:23:34', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));

echo $formatter->format($date);
// Prints whatever you formatted the given date to ;)
```

To be able to use it with the `FormatterFacade` you have to announce the Folder containing the formatter to the class like in this example:

```
use Org_Heigl\DateFormatter\FormatterFacade as Formatter;

// Announce the Folder containing your formatter to the class
Formatter::addFormatterFolder('/absolute/Path/To/Your/Formatter/Folder');

$date = new DateTime('2013-12-03 12:23:34', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));

echo Formatter::format($date, 'WhateverYouCalledYourFormatter');
// Prints WhateverYourFormatterDoes ;)
```

> Self-Defined formatters will always be called instead of default formatters. So when you have a formatter for "PDF" in your added folder that formatter will be called instead of the default formatter!
