BDateTime

---

Motivation

Date and time manipulation in php is a drag. So BDateTime to the rescue! (well maybe it’ll hand you a tissue or something.)

Examples

Here’s an example of how you can use it, since I believe it’s important to see if something is easy to use before you waste your time on it.

Straight out of the unit test:

$initial = BDateTime::fromString("2007-02-25 05:50:24");
$expected = BDateTime::fromString("2007-03-02 05:50:24");

// we should be able to add 5 days and expect the time to be maintained.
$this->assertTrue( $initial->addDays(5)->equals($expected) );

$initial = BDateTime::fromString("2007-02-25 05:50:24");
$expected = BDateTime::fromString("2007-02-25 06:10:27");

// test out the time manipulators in a fun example of chaining.
$this->assertTrue( $initial->addHours(1)->subtractMinutes(40)->addSeconds(3)->equals($expected) );

The application is unit tested using http //www.phpunit.de/, and more examples of how to use the class can be found in the package’s test directory.
