How do I use setMonth() method in Codeigniter 4

Question

I am currently working on getting the month of the date using the Setter function in Codeigniter 4. I can't figure out how the $time variable obtained since there is no where it is been defined.

echo $time = $time->setMonth(4);

Am getting an undefined variable error. Please help

You have to first instantiate time, and then you can use the setters as in the documentation. For example;

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

Use CodeIgniter\I18n\Time;

class Mok extends BaseController
{

    public function time() {

        $time = Time::now('America/Chicago', 'en_US');
        $time = $time->setMonth(4);       // April
        echo $time;
    }
}
