Documentation

ArabicDate hijri converter depends on Kuwati Algorithm , in it's core a single class with few setters/gettes to configure your result.

After installation is done , include the class in your project by:

• including vendor/autoload.php for Native PHP projects
• or adding the class to your framework config , for example app/config/app.php for laravel ,

This table demonstrate the basic three setters , we use to initialize ArabicDate

ArabicDate uses the default PHP date format characters , this table shows all supported characters in hijri calendar. (for gregorian calendar , all characters work normally !!)

This is the basic example for using ArabicDate

<?php

include "vendor/autoload.php";

use ArabicDate\ArabicDate;

$date = new ArabicDate();

$date->setCalendar('hijri');
$date->setLanguage('english');
$date->setFormat('Y-m-d');

echo $date->get();

// and also you can use the constructor
$date = new ArabicDate('y M D h:i:s a', 'arabic', 'gregorian');
echo $date->get();
