The HolidaysNL package is a PHP package that can be used to find the dates of the holidays in the Netherlands between the years 0 and 3000 (which is just a very arbitrary number)

The holidays that can be retrieved are the following:

• New Year
• Easter (1st and 2nd day)
• Queens/Kings day
• Ascension
• Pentecost (1st and 2nd day)
• Christmas (1st and nd day)

Installation

The package can be installed with composer:

composer require rotous/holidays-nl

Usage

<?php

// Make sure you use the correct path to the autoload file!
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$api = new \rotous\holidays\HolidaysNL();
$holidays = $api->getHolidays(1972);
