cakephpのヘルパーで日付拡張

  function dateFormat($date,$format = 'Y年m月d日') {
    return date($format,strtotime($date));
  }
  function df($date,$format = 'Y年m月d日') {
    return $this->dateFormat($date,$format);
  }
  function dfh($date,$format = 'Y年m月d日 H時') {
    return $this->dateFormat($date,$format);
  }
  function dfhm($date,$format = 'Y年m月d日 H時i分') {
    return $this->dateFormat($date,$format);
  }
  function dfwy($date,$format = 'm月d日') {
    return $this->dateFormat($date,$format);
  }
  function dfwyhm($date,$format = 'm月d日 H時i分') {
    return $this->dateFormat($date,$format);
  }

app/views/helper/html.php
