Member Function Documentation

◆ getHumanTimestamp()

MWTimestamp::getHumanTimestamp ( MWTimestamp  $relativeTo = null,
User  $user = null,
Language  $lang = null 
)

Get the timestamp in a human-friendly relative format, e.g., "3 days ago".

Determine the difference between the timestamp and the current time, and generate a readable timestamp by returning "<N> <units> ago", where the largest possible unit is used.

Since
1.20
1.22 Uses Language::getHumanTimestamp to produce the timestamp
Deprecated:
since 1.26 Use Language::getHumanTimestamp directly
Parameters
MWTimestamp | null$relativeToThe base timestamp to compare to (defaults to now)
User | null$userUser the timestamp is being generated for (or null to use main context's user)
Language | null$langLanguage to use to make the human timestamp (or null to use main context's language)
Returns
string Formatted timestamp

Definition at line 63 of file MWTimestamp.php.

References $lang.

◆ getInstance()

static MWTimestamp::getInstance (   $ts = false)
static

Get a timestamp instance in GMT.

Parameters
bool | string$tsTimestamp to set, or false for current time
Returns
MWTimestamp The instance

Definition at line 41 of file MWTimestamp.php.

◆ getLocalInstance()

static MWTimestamp::getLocalInstance (   $ts = false)
static

Get a timestamp instance in the server local timezone ($wgLocaltimezone)

Since
1.22
Parameters
bool | string$tsTimestamp to set, or false for current time
Returns
MWTimestamp The local instance

Definition at line 205 of file MWTimestamp.php.

References $wgLocaltimezone.

◆ getRelativeTimestamp()

MWTimestamp::getRelativeTimestamp ( MWTimestamp  $relativeTo = null,
User  $user = null,
Language  $lang = null,
array  $chosenIntervals = [] 
)

Generate a purely relative timestamp, i.e., represent the time elapsed between the given base timestamp and this object.

Parameters
MWTimestamp | null$relativeToRelative base timestamp (defaults to now)
User | null$userUse to use offset for
Language | null$langLanguage to use
array$chosenIntervalsIntervals to use to represent it
Returns
string Relative timestamp

◆ getTimezoneMessage()

MWTimestamp::getTimezoneMessage ( )

Get the localized timezone message, if available.

Premade translations are not shipped as format() may return whatever the system uses, localized or not, so translation must be done through wiki.

Since
1.27
Returns
Message The localized timezone message

Definition at line 187 of file MWTimestamp.php.

References wfMessage().

◆ offsetForUser()

MWTimestamp::offsetForUser ( User  $user)

Adjust the timestamp depending on the given user's preferences.

Since
1.22
Parameters
User$userUser to take preferences from
Returns
DateInterval Offset that was applied to the timestamp
