Re: RFC Concept: "Import" of simplied string manipulation and other instructions from ASP Classic

Hello! Why are the current date() alternatives not working for you? - is_date() => checkdate(int $month, int $day, int $year) or DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date) !== false; - year() => date('Y'); - month() => date('m'); - day() => date('d'); - hour() => date('H'); - minute() => date('i'); - second() => date('s'); - week() => date('W'); I can agree with you that the current ways are a bit confusing for a beginner. For example, I myself didn't know the representation of weeks using date() -- I had to search. But I think creating new "root functions" would be too much. Perhaps a package like Carbon could be very useful. Or even the DateTime itself.
