Instance Properties & Getters

In PHP the NepaliDate class follows strict object oriented encapsulation principles. Internal state properties are private to protect calendar integrity, while public getter methods provide access to the four digit Bikram Sambat year, zero based month index, day of the month, and underlying Gregorian timestamp.

Reading Coordinates via GettersCopy Anchor Link

use NepaliDateLibrary\NepaliDate;

$date = new NepaliDate('2081-07-15');

echo $date->getYear();            // 2081
echo $date->getMonth();           // 6 (Kartik is index 6)
echo $date->getDate();            // 15
echo $date->getEnglishDate()->format('Y-m-d'); // "2024-10-31"

Working with Month IndicesCopy Anchor Link

Because $date->getMonth() is zero based, add 1 when outputting conventional month numbers:

$humanMonth = $date->getMonth() + 1; // 7
echo NepaliDate::getMonthName($date->getMonth()); // "Kartik"
