The DatePeriod class

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introduzione

Represents a date period.

A date period allows iteration over a set of dates and times, recurring at regular intervals, over a given period.

Costanti predefinite

DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE

Exclude start date, used in DatePeriod::__construct().

DatePeriod::INCLUDE_END_DATE

Include end date, used in DatePeriod::__construct().

Proprietà

recurrences

The minimum amount of instances as retured by the iterator.

If the number of recurrences has been explicitly passed through the recurrences parameter in the constructor of the DatePeriod instance, then this property contains this value, plus one if the start date has not been disabled through DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE, plus one if the end date has been enabled through DatePeriod::INCLUDE_END_DATE.

If the number of recurrences has not been explicitly passed, then this property contains the minimum number of returned instances. This would be 0, plus one if the start date has not been disabled through DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE, plus one if the end date has been enabled through DatePeriod::INCLUDE_END_DATE.

<?php
$start
= new DateTime('2018-12-31 00:00:00');
$end = new DateTime('2021-12-31 00:00:00');
$interval = new DateInterval('P1M');
$recurrences = 5;

// recurrences explicitly set through the constructor
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $recurrences, DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE);
echo
$period->recurrences, "\n";

$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $recurrences);
echo
$period->recurrences, "\n";

$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $recurrences, DatePeriod::INCLUDE_END_DATE);
echo
$period->recurrences, "\n";

// recurrences not set in the constructor
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end);
echo
$period->recurrences, "\n";

$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end, DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE);
echo
$period->recurrences, "\n";
?>

See also DatePeriod::getRecurrences().

include_end_date

Whether to include the end date in the set of recurring dates or not.

include_start_date

Whether to include the start date in the set of recurring dates or not.

start

The start date of the period.

current

During iteration this will contain the current date within the period.

end

The end date of the period.

interval

An ISO 8601 repeating interval specification.

Log delle modifiche

Versione Descrizione
8.2.0 The DatePeriod::INCLUDE_END_DATE constant and include_end_date property have been added.
8.0.0 DatePeriod implements IteratorAggregate now. Previously, Traversable was implemented instead.

When looping over a DatePeriod object, the returned objects always implement DateTimeInterface. The exact type returned depends on how the DatePeriod was created. If $start was a DateTimeImmutable, the objects returned will be of type DateTimeImmutable. If a DateTime object was used, the objects returned will be of type DateTime.
