Methods

public static adjust( integer $hour , string $ampm ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Adjusts a non-24-hour number into a 24-hour number.

$hour = Date::adjust(3, 'pm'); // 15

Parameters

  • integer $hour required - Hour to adjust
  • string $ampm required - AM or PM

Return Values

  • string

Source Code

{

				$hour = 0;
			}
		break;
		case 'pm':
			if ($hour < 12)
			{
				$hour += 12;
			}
		break;
	}

	return sprintf('%02d', $hour);
}

public static ampm( integer $hour ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Returns AM or PM, based on a given hour (in 24 hour format).

$type = Date::ampm(12); // PM
$type = Date::ampm(1);  // AM

Parameters

  • integer $hour required - Number of the hour

Return Values

  • string

}

public static days( integer $month [, integer $year = bool FALSE ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Number of days in a given month and year. Typically used as a shortcut for generating a list that can be used in a form.

Date::days(4, 2010); // 1, 2, 3, ..., 28, 29, 30

Parameters

  • integer $month required - Number of month
  • integer $year = bool FALSE - Number of year to check month, defaults to the current year

Return Values

  • array - A mirrored (foo => foo) array of the days.

Source Code

public static function days($month, $year = FALSE)
{
	static $months;

	if ($year === FALSE)
	{
		// Use the current year by default
		$year = date('Y');
	}

	// Always integers
	$month = (int) $month;
	$year  = (int) $year;

	// We use caching for months, because time functions are used
	if (empty($months[$year][$month]))
	{
		$months[$year][$month] = array();

		// Use date to find the number of days in the given month
		$total = date('t', mktime(1, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year)) + 1;

	}

	return $months[$year][$month];
}

public static dos2unix( [ integer $timestamp = bool FALSE ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Converts a DOS timestamp to UNIX format.There are very few cases where this is needed, but some binary formats use it (eg: zip files.) Converting the other direction is done using {@link Date::unix2dos}.

$unix = Date::dos2unix($dos);

Parameters

  • integer $timestamp = bool FALSE - DOS timestamp

Return Values

  • integer

Source Code

public static function dos2unix($timestamp = FALSE)

	$hrs  = ($timestamp >> 11) & 0x1f;
	$day  = ($timestamp >> 16) & 0x1f;
	$mon  = ($timestamp >> 21) & 0x0f;

Returns a date/time string with the specified timestamp format

$time = Date::formatted_time('5 minutes ago');

Parameters

  • string $datetime_str = string(3) "now" - Datetime string
  • string $timestamp_format = NULL - Timestamp format
  • unknown $timezone = NULL

Tags

Return Values

  • string

Source Code

public static function formatted_time($datetime_str = 'now', $timestamp_format = NULL, $timezone = NULL)

	return $time->format($timestamp_format);
}

public static fuzzy_span( integer $timestamp [, integer $local_timestamp = NULL ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Returns the difference between a time and now in a "fuzzy" way. Displaying a fuzzy time instead of a date is usually faster to read and understand.

$span = Date::fuzzy_span(time() - 10); // "moments ago"
$span = Date::fuzzy_span(time() + 20); // "in moments"

A second parameter is available to manually set the "local" timestamp, however this parameter shouldn't be needed in normal usage and is only included for unit tests

Parameters

  • integer $timestamp required - "remote" timestamp
  • integer $local_timestamp = NULL - "local" timestamp, defaults to time()

Return Values

  • string

Source Code

public static function fuzzy_span($timestamp, $local_timestamp = NULL)
{
	$local_timestamp = ($local_timestamp === NULL) ? time() : (int) $local_timestamp;

public static hours( [ integer $step = integer 1 , boolean $long = bool FALSE , integer $start = NULL ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Number of hours in a day. Typically used as a shortcut for generating a list that can be used in a form.

$hours = Date::hours(); // 01, 02, 03, ..., 10, 11, 12

Parameters

  • integer $step = integer 1 - Amount to increment each step by
  • boolean $long = bool FALSE - Use 24-hour time
  • integer $start = NULL - The hour to start at

Return Values

  • array - A mirrored (foo => foo) array from start-12 or start-23.

Source Code

public static function hours($step = 1, $long = FALSE, $start = NULL)
{
	// Default values
	$step = (int) $step;
	$long = (bool) $long;
	$hours = array();

	}

	return $hours;
}

public static minutes( [ integer $step = integer 5 ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Number of minutes in an hour, incrementing by a step. Typically used as a shortcut for generating a list that can be used in a form.

$minutes = Date::minutes(); // 05, 10, 15, ..., 50, 55, 60

Parameters

  • integer $step = integer 5 - Amount to increment each step by, 1 to 30

Tags

Return Values

  • array - A mirrored (foo => foo) array from 1-60.

Source Code

public static function minutes($step = 5)
{
	// Because there are the same number of minutes as seconds in this set,
	// we choose to re-use seconds(), rather than creating an entirely new
	// function. Shhhh, it's cheating! ;) There are several more of these
	// in the following methods.
	return Date::seconds($step);
}

public static months( [ string $format = NULL ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)

Number of months in a year. Typically used as a shortcut for generating a list that can be used in a form.

By default a mirrored array of $month_number => $month_number is returned

Date::months();
// aray(1 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => 3, ..., 12 => 12)

But you can customise this by passing in either Date::MONTHS_LONG

Date::months(Date::MONTHS_LONG);
// array(1 => 'January', 2 => 'February', ..., 12 => 'December')

Or Date::MONTHS_SHORT

Date::months(Date::MONTHS_SHORT);
// array(1 => 'Jan', 2 => 'Feb', ..., 12 => 'Dec')

Parameters

  • string $format = NULL - The format to use for months

		{
			$months[$i] = strftime($format, mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1));
		}
	}
	else
	{
		$months = Date::hours();
	}

	return $months;
}

public static unix2dos( [ integer $timestamp = bool FALSE ] ) (defined in Kohana_Date)
