TimeFormatter

The TimeFormatter promotes time values between multiple units.

• Non-numeric input is returned unchanged.
• Promotion is based on magnitude.
• Output uses symbols only (no spaces), e.g. 1h, 500ms.

Usage

use Respect\StringFormatter\TimeFormatter;

$formatter = new TimeFormatter('s');

echo $formatter->format('60');
// Outputs: 1min

echo $formatter->format('0.001');
// Outputs: 1ms

API

TimeFormatter::__construct

• __construct(string $unit)

The $unit is the input unit (the unit you are providing values in).

Accepted symbols:

• ns, us, ms, s, min, h, d, w, mo, y, dec, c, mil

Notes on non-standard symbols

• y uses a fixed year of 365 days.
• mo uses 1/12 of a fixed year (approx. 30.41 days).
• w uses 7 days.
• dec, c, and mil are based on that fixed year.
