[TYPO3-dev] new DateTime-Object

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

may be it's useful for you, may be it's useful for core also.

With php5 there is a new Object that makes it a lot easier to handle dates.

some examples:

$date = new DateTime( "2007-08-11 14:32:18", new DateTimeZone( 'CET' ) );
echo $date->format( "d.m.Y H:i:s" ); // output: 11.08.2007 14:32:18

$date_start = new DateTime( 'today' );
$date_end  = clone $date_start;
$date_end->modify( '7 days' );

if ($date_end->format( "U" )  > $date_start->format( "U" )) {
    echo "End date is in future!";
} else {
    echo "End date is in past!";
}
