Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud PHP shared dependency, providing functionality useful to all components. Client class Timestamp.
Represents a Timestamp value.
Nanosecond precision is preserved by passing nanoseconds as a separate argument to the constructor. If nanoseconds are given, any subsecond precision in the timestamp will be overridden when encoding the timestamp as a string.
Example:
use Google\Cloud\Core\Timestamp;
$timestamp = new Timestamp(new \DateTime('2003-02-05 11:15:02.421827Z'));
// Timestamps can be cast to strings.
echo (string) $timestamp;
Methods
__construct
value
DateTimeInterface
The timestamp value. Use of DateTimeImmutable
is highly recommended over DateTime
in order
to avoid side effects.
nanoSeconds
int
[optional] The number of nanoseconds in the
timestamp. If omitted, subsecond precision will be obtained from
the instance of \DateTimeInterface
provided in the first
argument. If provided, any precision in $value
below seconds
will be disregarded.
get
Get the underlying \DateTimeInterface
implementation.
Please note that if you provided nanoseconds when creating the timestamp, they will not be included in this value.
Example:
$dateTime = $timestamp->get();
DateTimeInterface
nanoSeconds
Return the number of nanoseconds.
Example:
$nanos = $timestamp->nanoSeconds();
int
formatAsString
Format the value as a string.
Example:
$value = $timestamp->formatAsString();
string
__toString
Format the value as a string.
string
formatForApi
Format a timestamp for the API with nanosecond precision.
array
jsonSerialize
Implement JsonSerializable by returning a ISO 8601 formatted string
string
