Have your own tardis

This is a very tiny symfony (2&3) bundle that simplifies usage of php-timecop. To use this extension you need a php server with configured timecop.so extension. In case of troubles with compilation I can provide some extra instructions.

Warning!

Using this extension same as php-timecop alone can be very dangerous especially on production environment. Use it wisely.

Installation

composer require kolemp/timecop-bundle

Configuration

After installation add the bundle to app/AppKernel.php. By default the extension is disabled. To enable it add a section to config.yml for environments you want it to be enabled:

kolemp_timecop:
  enabled: true

Time sources

You can set the time by query parameter or the cookie. Both are named fakeTime. The value given must be compatibile with relative date formats. Example url: example.com?fakeTime=+3 days

Disabling time source

You can disable any of time sources in config. By default all are enabled:

kolemp_timecop:
  queryParameter: true
  cookie: true
  header: true

Source order

The time data is used in the following order: the header, the cookie, the query parameter.
