This package is available on packagist, so you can use Composer to install it:

composer require lib16/calendar

The Calendar class

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Lib16\Calendar\Calendar;
use Lib16\Calendar\DateTime;

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de');
$easter = DateTime::easter(2016);
$calendar = Calendar::month(5, 2016)
    ->setMonthFormat('%b %Y')
    ->setFirstWeekday('DE')
    ->addEntry('2016-05-01', 'Tag der Arbeit')
    ->addEntry($easter->copy()->addDays(39), 'Christi Himmelfahrt')
    ->addEntry($easter->copy()->addDays(50), 'Pfingstmontag')
    ->addEntry($easter->copy()->addDays(60), 'Fronleichnam');
print json_encode($calendar->buildArray(), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

The DateTime class

DateTime extends the standard PHP class with the same name.

Assuming that current date is Thu, 23 Feb 2017 20:59:49 +0100:

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Lib16\Calendar\DateTime;

const LN = "\n";

print      new DateTime();
print LN . new DateTime('2017-02-22');
print LN . new DateTime('first day of next month');

The generated output:

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 20:59:49 +0100
Wed, 22 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0100
Wed, 01 Mar 2017 20:59:49 +0100

The create method

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Lib16\Calendar\DateTime;

const LN = "\n";

print      DateTime::create();
print LN . DateTime::create(new DateTime());
print LN . DateTime::create(new \DateTime());
print LN;
print LN . DateTime::create('2017-02-22');
print LN . DateTime::create('2017-02');
print LN . DateTime::create('22.02.2017');
print LN . DateTime::create('02/22/2017');
print LN . DateTime::create('last day of previous month');
print LN . DateTime::create('first monday of june 2017');
print LN . DateTime::create('now');
print LN;
print LN . DateTime::create(22, 2, 2017);
print LN . DateTime::create(22, 2);
print LN . DateTime::create(22);
print LN . DateTime::create(2017, 2, 22);
print LN . DateTime::create(2017, 2);
print LN . DateTime::create(2017);

The generated output:

print LN . DateTime::create('2016-03-29')->addDays(3);
print LN . DateTime::create('2016-04-01')->forceWorkday();
print LN . DateTime::create('2016-04-02')->forceWorkday();
print LN . DateTime::create('2016-04-03')->forceWorkday();
