FAQ
Example:
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 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.

- 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.
Informations about the package dates
phdevutils/dates
Philippine date utilities for PHP + JS — business-day arithmetic (PH holiday-aware) and Filipino (Tagalog) date formatting. Companion to phdevutils/core (uses its bundled 2025–2026 PH holiday calendar).
Why
Every PH HR / leave / cutoff / accounting / SLA app hits the same problem: "what date is N business days from today, skipping weekends and the PH holiday calendar?" — and the late-December gauntlet (Christmas Eve, Christmas, Rizal Day, New Year's Eve all in one stretch) is where naive implementations break. This package gets that right out of the box.
PHP usage
JS usage
A parity JavaScript/TypeScript package is published as @ph-dev-utils/dates:
Options for business-day functions
saturdayIsBusinessDay/sundayIsBusinessDay— for 6- or 7-day workweeks (default false)extraNonBusinessDates— company-specific shutdown daysexcludeSpecialWorking— also exclude "special working" proclaimed days (NOT excluded by default — those are normal work days at 100% pay)
Date type handling
Public APIs accept either ISO YYYY-MM-DD strings or native DateTimeInterface. Internally everything is normalized to ISO strings to avoid timezone foot-guns. Functions return ISO strings — wrap them in your call site if you need richer types.
⚠️ "Special working" days
PH proclaims some days as "special working" (work proceeds at 100% pay, no premium) — e.g. Holy Saturday some years, or specific local holidays. They ARE business days by default. Set excludeSpecialWorking: true if your business actually closes on them.
