Detailed Description

Library for creating and parsing MW-style timestamps.

Based on the JS library that does the same thing.

Since:: 1.20

Definition at line 31 of file MWTimestamp.php.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MWTimestamp::__construct ( $ timestamp = false )

Make a new timestamp and set it to the specified time, or the current time if unspecified.

Since:: 1.20

Parameters:

bool | string $timestamp Timestamp to set, or false for current time

Definition at line 60 of file MWTimestamp.php.

Member Function Documentation

MWTimestamp::__toString ( )

Since:: 1.20

Returns:: string

Definition at line 345 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::diff ( MWTimestamp $ relativeTo )

Calculate the difference between two MWTimestamp objects.

Since:: 1.22

Parameters:

MWTimestamp $relativeTo Base time to calculate difference from

Returns:: DateInterval|bool The DateInterval object representing the difference between the two dates or false on failure

Definition at line 357 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::format ( $ format )

Format the timestamp in a given format.

Since:: 1.22

Parameters:

string $format Pattern to format in

Returns:: string The formatted timestamp

Definition at line 393 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::getHumanTimestamp	(	MWTimestamp $	relativeTo = `null`,
		User $	user = `null`,
		Language $	lang = `null`
	)

Get the timestamp in a human-friendly relative format, e.g., "3 days ago".

Determine the difference between the timestamp and the current time, and generate a readable timestamp by returning "<N> <units> ago", where the largest possible unit is used.

Since:: 1.20; 1.22 Uses Language::getHumanTimestamp to produce the timestamp

Parameters:

MWTimestamp \| null	$relativeTo	The base timestamp to compare to (defaults to now).
User \| null	$user	User the timestamp is being generated for (or null to use main context's user).
Language \| null	$lang	Language to use to make the human timestamp (or null to use main context's language).

Returns:: string Formatted timestamp

Definition at line 205 of file MWTimestamp.php.

static MWTimestamp::getInstance ( $ ts = false ) [static]

Get a timestamp instance in GMT.

Since:: 1.22

Parameters:

bool | string $ts Timestamp to set, or false for current time

Returns:: MWTimestamp The instance

Definition at line 418 of file MWTimestamp.php.

Referenced by Xml\dateMenu(), and ReverseChronologicalPager\getDateCond().

static MWTimestamp::getLocalInstance ( $ ts = false ) [static]

Get a timestamp instance in the server local timezone ($wgLocaltimezone)

Since:: 1.22

Parameters:

bool | string $ts Timestamp to set, or false for current time

Returns:: MWTimestamp The local instance

MWTimestamp::getRelativeTimestamp	(	MWTimestamp $	relativeTo = `null`,
		User $	user = `null`,
		Language $	lang = `null`,
		array $	chosenIntervals = `array()`
	)

Generate a purely relative timestamp, i.e., represent the time elapsed between the given base timestamp and this object.

Parameters:

MWTimestamp	$relativeTo	Relative base timestamp (defaults to now)
User	$user	Use to use offset for
Language	$lang	Language to use
array	$chosenIntervals	Intervals to use to represent it

Returns:: string Relative timestamp

Definition at line 310 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::getTimestamp ( $ style = TS_UNIX )

Get the timestamp represented by this object in a certain form.

Convert the internal timestamp to the specified format and then return it.

Since:: 1.20

Parameters:

int $style Constant Output format for timestamp

Exceptions:

TimestampException

Returns:: string The formatted timestamp

Definition at line 173 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::getTimezone ( )

Get the timezone of this timestamp.

Since:: 1.22

Returns:: DateTimeZone The timezone

Definition at line 382 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::offsetForUser ( User $ user )

Adjust the timestamp depending on the given user's preferences.

Since:: 1.22

Parameters:

User $user User to take preferences from

Returns:: DateInterval Offset that was applied to the timestamp

Definition at line 242 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::setTimestamp ( $ ts = false )

Set the timestamp to the specified time, or the current time if unspecified.

Parse the given timestamp into either a DateTime object or a Unix timestamp, and then store it.

Since:: 1.20

Parameters:

string | bool $ts Timestamp to store, or false for now

Exceptions:

TimestampException

Definition at line 75 of file MWTimestamp.php.

MWTimestamp::setTimezone ( $ timezone )

Set the timezone of this timestamp to the specified timezone.

Since:: 1.22

Parameters:

string $timezone Timezone to set

Exceptions:

TimestampException
