Setup

All classes are in the duncan3dc\Dates namespace.

The DateTime class is the main class within the library. It is created using a unix timestamp:

$date = new DateTime($row["date_created"]);

Or there is a static method to create an instance using mktime():

$date = DateTime::mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year);

There is also a Date class which is created using a unix timestamp too, but the time element is ignored, and will always be mid-day.

$date = new Date($row["date_created"]);

There is also a static method similar to mktime()

$date = Date::mkdate($year, $month, $day);

Current date/time

Each class has a helper method to get an instance based on the current date:

$date = Date::now();

$date = DateTime::now();
