Intro

What is moment.php?

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

Any dependencies?

PHP 5.3 or later since moment.php is based on php's DateTime Class.


Install

Easy install via composer. Still no idea what composer is? Inform yourself here.

{
    "require": {
        "fightbulc/moment": "*"
    }
}

Quick examples

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

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 

Supported languages so far:

cs_CZ Czech
de_DE German (Germany)
en_GB English (British)
en_US English (American)
es_ES Spanish (Europe)
fr_FR French (Europe)
pt_BR Portuguese (Brazil)
it_IT Italian
th_TH Thai
zh_CN Chinese
zh_TW Traditional Chinese
da_DK Danish
se_SV Swedish


Switch timezones

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

Custom format

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 and DateTime class.

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. Thanks to Ashish for taking the time to match moment.js formats to those of PHP. Have a look at the test script 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

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

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

I. Past/Future 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

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

III. Methods for manipulating the date/time

Add Subtract
addSeconds($s) subtractSeconds($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

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

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)

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 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
Time Display
Last week Last Monday at 15:54
The day before Yesterday at 15:54
The same day Today at 15:54
The next day Tomorrow at 15:54
The next week Wednesday at 15:54
Everything else 04/09/2014

Note: Use $moment->calendar(false) to leave out the time at 00:00.


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

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.
