NAME

PHP::DateTime - Clone of PHP's date and time functions.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use PHP::DateTime;
if( checkdate($month,$day,$year) ){ print 'The date is good.'; }
print date( $format, $time );
print date( $format ); # Defaults to the current time.
@d = getdate(); # A list at the current time.
@d = getdate($time); # A list at the specified time.
$d = getdate($time); # An array ref at the specified time.
my @g = gettimeofday(); # A list.
my $g = gettimeofday(); # An array ref.
my $then = mktime( $hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year );
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Duplicates some of PHP's date and time functions. Why? I can't remember. It should be useful if you are trying to integrate your perl app with a php app. Much like PHP this module gratuitously exports all its functions upon a use(). Neat, eh?

METHODS

All of these methods should match PHP's methods exactly.

            

              
              
- Months are 1-12.
- Days are 1-31.
- Years are in four digit format (1997, not 97).
