Members

protected

• $gmt —
  Placeholder for a DateTimeZone object with GMT as the time zone.
• $stz —
  Placeholder for a DateTimeZone object with the default server time zone as the time zone.
• $tz — DateTimeZone
  The DateTimeZone object for usage in rending dates as strings.

public

• $format — string
  The format string to be applied when using the __toString() magic method.

Methods

public
