## Installation

Using composer, add a requirement for `poliander/cron` to your `composer.json` file:
```
composer require poliander/cron
```

## Examples

Validate a certain crontab expression:
```php
use Poliander\Cron\CronExpression;

$expression = new CronExpression('15,45 */2 * * *');
$isValid = $expression->isValid(); // returns true
```

Check whether a given point in time is matching a certain cron expression:
```php
use Poliander\Cron\CronExpression;

$expression = new CronExpression('45 9 * * *');
$dt = new \DateTime('2014-05-18 09:45');
$isMatching = $expression->isMatching($dt); // returns true
```

Match an expression across different time zones:
```php
use Poliander\Cron\CronExpression;

$expression = new CronExpression('45 9 * * *', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$dt = new \DateTime('2014-05-18 08:45', new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));
$isMatching = $expression->isMatching($dt); // returns true
```

Calculate next timestamp matching a Friday, the 13th:
```php
use Poliander\Cron\CronExpression;

$expression = new CronExpression('* * 13 * fri');
$when = $expression->getNext();
```
