composer require litipk/php-jiffy

The PHP Jiffy library provides the UniversalTimestamp class, which allows you to record timestamps with milliseconds and microseconds precision and to convert it to other "timestamp types" whenever you need to do it.

The supported PHP versions are 5.5, 5.6, 7.0 and HHVM.

<?php

use Litipk\Jiffy\UniversalTimestamp;

$now = UniversalTimestamp::now();
$fromDateTime = UniversalTimestamp::fromDateTimeInterface(new \DateTime());
$fromMongoDate = UniversalTimestamp::fromMongoDate(new \MongoDate());

Notice: The MongoDB related methods are only available when the mongo or mongodb extensions are loaded.

If you want to use Jiffy's UniversalTimesamp objects in your Doctrine models, you can use our adapter layers:

• Jiffy Universal Timestamps for MongoDB ODM
• Jiffy Universal Timestamps for Doctrine ORM : Work in progress.
