### getReadTime

**Description:**

Get estimated minutes necessary to read content, based on reading a given amount of words per minute (WPM).

**Parameters:**

- `$content` (string)

- `$wpm = 180` (int)

**Returns:**

- (int)

**Example:**

```

use Bayfront\TimeHelpers\Time;

$content = 'This is a string of content.';

echo Time::getReadTime($content);

```



### getDateTime

**Description:**

Returns datetime of a given timestamp, or current time (default).

**Parameters:**

- `$timestamp = NULL` (int|null)

**Returns:**

- (string)

**Example:**

```

use Bayfront\TimeHelpers\Time;

echo Time::getDateTime();

```



### isLeapYear

**Description:**

Checks if a given year is a leap year, using current year by default.

**Parameters:**

- `$year = NULL` (int|null): Four digit year, PHP `date('Y')` format

**Returns:**

- (bool)

**Example:**

```

use Bayfront\TimeHelpers\Time;

if (Time::isLeapYear()) {

    // Do something

}

```



### humanArray

**Description:**

Returns human time as an array.

**NOTE:** Due to discrepancies between the length of certain months and years (ie: leap year), elapsed time calculations for these units of time are approximate (30 days per month, 365 days per year).

**Parameters:**

- `$time_start` (int): Timestamp of starting time

- `$time_end` (int): Timestamp of ending time

- `$limit = 'year'` (string): Limit of time duration to calculate

- `$language = NULL` (array|null): Custom language to return

Valid `$limit` values are:

- `year`

- `month`

- `week`

- `day`

- `hour`

- `minute`

- `second`

Passing a `$language` array allows you to translate the words returned by this method. The array keys must match those of the default array, which is:

```

$language = [

    'year' => 'year',

    'years' => 'years',

    'month' => 'month',

    'months' => 'months',

    'week' => 'week',

    'weeks' => 'weeks',

    'day' => 'day',

    'days' => 'days',

    'hour' => 'hour',

    'hours' => 'hours',

    'minute' => 'minute',

    'minutes' => 'minutes',

    'second' => 'second',

    'seconds' => 'seconds',

    'past' => 'ago',

    'present' => 'just now',

    'future' => 'to go'

];

```

**Returns:**

- (array)

#### Example:

```

use Bayfront\TimeHelpers\Time;

$start = time();

$end = time() + 51001;

print_r(Time::humanArray($start, $end, 'minute'));

```
