Usage

The Kuria\Clock\Clock class provides access to current date and time.

Getting current time

• Clock::time(): int
  • get the current UNIX timestamp
• Clock::microtime(): float
  • get the current UNIX timestamp with microsecond precision
• Clock::dateTime(?\DateTimeZone $timezone = null): \DateTime
  • get the current date-time
  • uses default time zone if not specified
• Clock::dateTimeImmutable(?\DateTimeZone $timezone = null): \DateTimeImmutable
  • get the current date-time as an immutable instance
  • uses default time zone if not specified

Overriding current time

• Clock::override($now): void
  • override the current time
  • $now can be an UNIX timestamp or an instance of DateTimeInterface
  • $now can include microseconds
  • this change only affects methods of the Clock class
• Clock::isOverridden(): bool
  • see if the current time is currently overridden
• Clock::resume(): void
  • resume normal operation after the time has been overridden
  • if the time is not currently overridden, this method does nothing

Note

Time overriding is intended only for testing purposes.
