-------------

[](#documentation)

The component may be 100% compatible with standard [Date and Time Extension](http://php.net/manual/refs.calendar.php "PHP Date and Time Related Extensions")classes but the names used are based on [ISO 8601](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 "Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times (Wikipedia)").

To replace the original PHP implementation with this component, include the following PHP snippet:

```
use Xpl\DateTime\DateTime as DateTime;
use Xpl\DateTime\DateTimeImmutable as DateTimeImmutable;
use Xpl\DateTime\DateTimeInterface as DateTimeInterface;
use Xpl\DateTime\Duration as DateInterval;
use Xpl\DateTime\TimeZone as DateTimeZone;
```

Just use like the standard PHP extension classes.

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

[](#installation)

Just use [composer](http://getcomposer.org/ "Composer Dependency Manager for PHP") to add the dependency:

```
composer require xpl/datetime:dev-master

```

Or add the dependecy manually:

1. Update `composer.json` file with the lines:

    ```
    {
        "require": {
            "xpl/datetime": "dev-master"
        }
    }

    ```
2. And update the dependencies:

    ```
    composer update xpl/datetime

    ```
