PHP: check dates
Carbon is probably one of the most popular vendors to handle dates in PHP.

Why was the Carbon library called that?

Calendar page displaying empty boxes and not days and numbers - $this->date
Let me start by referring you to PHP's DateTime implementation. There is a library called Carbon that uses this DateTime implementation and added almost all the methods you have (but better). So there really is no need to create your own just to be able to display Dutch names. That way to can get rid of the nasty "globals".

Creating a Neat DateTime Helper Function in PHP
Working with datetime in PHP could be a real pain if you don't take advantage of popular libraries like Carbon. It's all good until you have to convert dates provided on user input into another timezone (eg. UTC) and vice versa. Other example could be that you have to manage various input datetime formats, and sanitize them into a consistent one before saving it to database.

Carbon - Float Difference in Months Filtered
Be careful of floatDiffInMonths() which can gives you a lower result (number of months in A < number of months in B) for an interval having more days (number of days in A > number of days in B) due to the variable number of days in months (especially February). By default, we rely on the result of DateTime::diff which is sensitive to overflow. See issue #2264 for alternative calculations.

Do you use a DateTime wrapper?
https://github.com/aeon-php/calendar comes with object representation of TimeUnit, more advanced iterators over TimePeriods, time ranges and overlaps detection, leap seconds support, Unix/UTC/TAI/GPS timestamps plus few handy extensions like holidays, business hours, retries, precise sleep, stopwatch, rate limiter. It’s a wrapper on an excellent native DateTime that does not extend it.

Aeon Calendar library pre 1.0 release feedback request
Hey, We are planning to release version 1.0 with long term support of https://github.com/aeon-php/calendar library and we thought it's a good time to ask for some feedback. How this library is different from other great libraries available in the wild? The main difference is that it does not extend \DateTime or \DateTimeImmutable, but instead it provides own fully immutable DateTime replacement. Why? There are few reasons but the most important one is to provide better and safer, Object Oriented API to work with DateTime/Date/Time/TimeZone/TimeUnit and TimePeriods. Safer means that the whole library API is designed to expose commonly misunderstood concepts and make them explicit, like for example adding month to given date expects to precisely define number of days DateTime::add(TimeUnit::days(30)); as a TimeUnit instance or use relative time unit DateTime::add(RelativeTimeUnit::month()); Calendar is the core library and it comes with few extra things like support for LeapSeconds, different Time Epoch (TAI, GPS), TimePeriods (iterating, overlapping, merging, finding gaps, sorting etc) or precise time measurement. There are few more libraries built on top of calendar, like for example Business Hours, Holidays (which is just an abstraction and bridge for other libraries), Rate Limiter, Retry but they all waits for the the calendar to be stabilized. You can find them here https://github.com/aeon-php
