DESCRIPTION

This module collects a set of utility functions and constants into one place to avoid duplication in multiple modules or odd dependency loops. No effort has been made to have these utility functions be particularly useful to code outside this application.

INTERFACE

canonical_datestamp( $stamp )

Given a date stamp like string that has '/' instead of '-' as separators, convert to standard datestamp form: YYYY-MM-DD.

day_end( $stamp )

Given a properly formated datestamp, find the next datestamp after the one supplied.

day_num_from_name( $day_name )

Given a day name in English, return the day number (0-6).

day_stamp( $day_str )

Return a properly formatted datestamp for the supplied string. This string may be any one of the following:

The empty string or 'today'

Datestamp for today.

'yesterday'

Datestamp for yesterday.

'monday', 'tuesday', etc.

Datestamp for the most recent day named. For example, if today is Wednesday and the string 'tuesday' is supplied, yesterday's datestamp is returned.

fmt_date( $time )

Return a properly formatted datestamp for the day corresponding to $time in the local timezone.

fmt_time( $time )

is_today( $day_str )

Parse the supplied string into the datestamp, time, and the rest of the line, if the string represents a proper event line.

stamp_to_localtime( $stamp )

Convert the datestamp to the last second of the day specified by $stamp in the local timezone.
