Methods

Frequency

use Frequency\Frequency;

$frequency = new Frequency();

	->on('seconds', 0); // every Wednesday at 10:00:00

Frequency([string rules])

Frequency([array rules])

Pass rules as a string (see __toString) or an array to the constructor instead of setting them one-by-one with on().

Example above as a string: $frequency = new Frequency('F3D/WT10H0M0S');

on(string unit, int|string value, [string scope])

Add a rule (fixed integer value or a string representing the name of a filter function) to the frequency for a unit, optionally linked to a scope (if not provided, a default scope is derived).

Filter functions need to be available in the static Frequency::$fn array when used.

Example filter: $frequency = new Frequency('F(leap)Y1M1DT0H0M0S'); (Jan 1st, at midnight, of leap years)

See tests for more examples.

next(DateTime start = new DateTime())

Get the next occurence of the frequency on or after a date.

between(DateTime start, DateTime end)

Get all occurences of the frequency between 2 dates.

__toString()

Convert frequency to a string value.
