title="Donate via Paypal" target="_blank">


A Javascript datetime library that allows you to manipulate date/times using PHP date-time formats in javascript. This library was built with an intention
to read and write date/timestamps to the database easily when working with PHP server code. Use cases for this library would involve reading and saving a
timestamp to database in one format, but displaying it on client or html forms in another format. Maintaining a consistent PHP Date time format for both
server side and client side validation should help in building extensible applications with various PHP frameworks easily.

This library is a standalone javascript library and does not depend on other libraries or plugins like jQuery.

Check the CHANGE LOG for release details.

Features

- Parse date/time strings or a Date object, and convert it into Javascript Date Object by passing any of the PHP DateTime formats.
- Automatically guess date/time strings, even if it does not exactly match the format, and convert it into Javascript Date Object.
- Read date/time strings or a Date object, and format it as per a PHP DateTime format.
- With release v1.3.2 the library has been converted to use pure javascript code without dependency on jQuery or other third party JS library.
