If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Is useful to auto-convert all client request datetime data to server timezone.

$_GET = array('filter' => array('startsFrom' => '2012-12-12 12:00:00'));
$_POST = array('event' => array('starts' => '2012-12-12 12:00:00'));
$_REQUEST = array_merge($_GET, $_POST);
$daterDataHandler = new Dater\DataHandler($dater);
$daterDataHandler->convertRequestDataToServerTimezone(); // all '2012-12-12 12:00:00' replaced to '2012-12-12 10:00:00'

Convert text template datetime timezone

Is useful to auto-convert all datetime in template date to client timezone. For example in Email template body.

$data = 'Timestamp format: 1363238564 (will not be handled)
Timestamp format: 1363238564[Y/m/d]
Timestamp format: 1363238564[datetime]
Server datetime format: 2013-03-14 09:22:44[Y/m/d]
Server datetime format: 2013-03-14 09:22:44[time]
Server datetime format: 2013-03-14 09:22:44';
echo $daterDataHandler->handleDataTimezone($data); 

Will print:

Timestamp format: 1363238564 (will not be handled)
Timestamp format: 2013/03/14
Timestamp format: 14.03.2013 07:22
Server datetime format: 2013/03/14
Server datetime format: 07:22
Server datetime format: 2013-03-14 07:22:44

Convert output datetime to client timezone

$daterDataHandler->enableOutputTimezoneHandler();
echo $data; // $data from previous example will print the same as in prevous example
