This can easily be done in userland. Having that in the library only adds to the complexity and is therefore discouraged. You can get the value you want for example using $date = new DateTime('2017-04-01'); echo floor($date->format('m') / 4) + 1The point of having q/Q is that you can pass a format to some method that will compare dates based on the given format. It's useful if you want to do foo('Y-m-00'), foo('Y-q'), foo('Y-W') etc. You don't have to do something like $date = $datetime->format(str_replace('q', ceil($datetime->format('m') / 3), $format)); As for "easily be done in userland". Your code is actually wrong.
