The DateTime class

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introduction

Representation of date and time.

This class behaves the same as DateTimeImmutable , except objects are modified itself when modification methods such as DateTime::modify() are called.

Warning

Calling methods on objects of the class DateTime will changue the information encapsulated in these objects, if you want to prevent that you will have to use clone operator to create a new object. Use DateTimeImmutable instead of DateTime to obtain this recommended behaviour by default.

Class synopsis

class DateTime implemens DateTimeInterface {

Versionen	Description
8.4.0	The class constans are now typed.
