Methods

dateFormatToSql()  : string
Convert from a format given by the options parameter to a format that SQL servers will recognise as a date.
dateSqlToFormat()  : string
Convert from SQL date / date time format to a format given by the options parameter.
datetime()  : string
Convert from one date time format to another.
explode()  : string
Convert a string of values into an array for use with checkboxes.
fromDecimalChar()  : string
Convert a number from using any character other than a period (dot) to one which does use a period. This is useful for allowing numeric user input in regions where a comma is used as the decimal character. Use with a set formatter.
ifEmpty()  : string
Formatter that can be used to specify what value should be used if an empty value is submitted by the client-side (e.g. null, 0, 'Not set', etc).
implode()  : string
Convert an array of values from a checkbox into a string which can be used to store in a text field in a database.
nullEmpty()  : string
Convert an empty string to `null`. Null values are very useful in databases, but HTTP variables have no way of representing `null` as a value, often leading to an empty string and null overlapping. This method will check the value to operate on and return null if it is empty.
toDecimalChar()  : string
Convert a number with a period (dot) as the decimal character to use a different character (typically a comma). Use with a get formatter.
