Description 

Author

This package can render the time on analog clock as an image.

It takes a time string with hours and minutes and renders an image displaying the pointers on circular analog clock.

There are two class variants: one that draws the clock pointers inside a circle and that renders the pointers over a base background image.

The resulting image can be saved to a PNG file or outputted as the current script output.

Many applications need to display the current time. They usually display a text string with the time, but sometimes it is nicer to display the time as a drawing of an analog clock.

This class can display the current time as an analog clock rendered as an image that can be displayed on the browser.

Details

PTX-Clock

PHP Class to create analog clock from the time given. I have a son and they are teaching him at school the clock. I though it would be great to create a simple game to help him out. This class is just a beginning of the whole idea.

Installation

You will need a composer to install autoload for you

composer install --no-dev

Example

require_once './vendor/autoload.php';

try {
    $clock = new PTX\Clock('09:55');

    $clock->to_browser();

    echo $e->getMessage();
}
