class DateTimePlus in Drupal 9

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 8 core/lib/Drupal/Component/Datetime/DateTimePlus.php \Drupal\Component\Datetime\DateTimePlus

Wraps DateTime().

This class wraps the PHP DateTime class with more flexible initialization parameters, allowing a date to be created from an existing date object, a timestamp, a string with an unknown format, a string with a known format, or an array of date parts. It also adds an errors array and a __toString() method to the date object.

This class is less lenient than the DateTime class. It changes the default behavior for handling date values like '2011-00-00'. The DateTime class would convert that value to '2010-11-30' and report a warning but not an error. This extension treats that as an error.

As with the DateTime class, a date object may be created even if it has errors. It has an errors array attached to it that explains what the errors are. This is less disruptive than allowing datetime exceptions to abort processing. The calling script can decide what to do about errors using hasErrors() and getErrors().

@method $this add(\DateInterval $interval) @method static array getLastErrors() @method $this modify(string $modify) @method $this setDate(int $year, int $month, int $day) @method $this setISODate(int $year, int $week, int $day = 1) @method $this setTime(int $hour, int $minute, int $second = 0, int $microseconds = 0) @method $this setTimestamp(int $unixtimestamp) @method $this setTimezone(\DateTimeZone $timezone) @method $this sub(\DateInterval $interval) @method int getOffset() @method int getTimestamp() @method \DateTimeZone getTimezone()
