Date and Time

There is a few classes to work with date, time and timezones:

• php\time\Time to work with datetime.
• php\time\TimeZone to work with timezones.
• php\time\TimeFormat to parse and format time.

Zend -> JPHP

• DateTime -> Time, TimeZone
• time -> Time::seconds() unix time in seconds (UTC), Time::now, Time::today
• ??? -> Time::millis() unix time in milliseconds
• microtime(1) -> Time::millis() / 1000
• strtotime -> TimeFormat::parse
• date -> TimeFormat::format
