Period is PHP's missing time range API. Based on ideas from Resolving Feature Envy in the Domain by Mathias Verraes, this package extends the concept to cover all basic operations regarding time ranges.
- Represents Interval, Datepoint, Duration and Collection as value objects
- Exposes named constructors to ease object creation
- Covers all basic manipulations related to time range
- Enables working with simple or complex time ranges logic
- Fully documented
- Framework-agnostic
Full documentation can be found at period.thephpleague.com.
You need PHP >= 7.2.0 but the latest stable version of PHP is recommended.

or download the library and:
- use any other PSR-4 compatible autoloader.
- use the bundle autoloader script as shown below:
require 'path/to/period/repo/autoload.php';
use League\Period\Datepoint;
Datepoint::create('2012-05-23')->getDay()->getDateInterval();
//returns new DateInterval('P1D');where path/to/period/repo represents the path where the library was extracted.
