IntlDateFormatter::create -- datefmt_create -- IntlDateFormatter::__construct — Create a date formatter
Description
Object oriented style
public static IntlDateFormatter IntlDateFormatter::create ( string $locale , int $datetype , int $timetype [, mixed $timezone = NULL [, mixed $calendar = NULL [, string $pattern = "" ]]] )
Object oriented style (constructor)
public IntlDateFormatter::__construct ( string $locale , int $datetype , int $timetype [, mixed $timezone = NULL [, mixed $calendar = NULL , string $pattern = "" ]] )
Procedural style
IntlDateFormatter datefmt_create ( string $locale , int $datetype , int $timetype [, mixed $timezone = NULL [, mixed $calendar = NULL [, string $pattern = "" ]]] )
Create a date formatter.
Parameters
locale
Locale to use when formatting or parsing or NULL to use the value specified in the ini setting intl.default_locale.
datetype
Date type to use (none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants. It can also be NULL, in which case ICUʼs default date type will be used.
timetype
Time type to use (none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants. It can also be NULL, in which case ICUʼs default time type will be used.
timezone
Time zone ID. The default (and the one used if NULL is given) is the one returned by date_default_timezone_get() or, if applicable, that of the IntlCalendar object passed for the calendar parameter. This ID must be a valid identifier on ICUʼs database or an ID representing an explicit offset, such as GMT-05:30.
This can also be an IntlTimeZone or a DateTimeZone object.
calendar
Calendar to use for formatting or parsing. The default value is NULL, which corresponds to IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN. This can either be one of the IntlDateFormatter calendar constants or an IntlCalendar. Any IntlCalendar object passed will be clone; it will not be changed by the IntlDateFormatter. This will determine the calendar type used (gregorian, islamic, persian, etc.) and, if NULL is given for the timezone parameter, also the timezone used.
pattern
Optional pattern to use when formatting or parsing. Possible patterns are documented at » http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime.
Return Values
The created IntlDateFormatter or FALSE in case of failure.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.5.0/PECL 3.0.0 | An IntlCalendar object is allowed for calendar. Objects of type IntlTimeZone and DateTimeZone are allowed for timezone. Invalid timezone identifiers (including empty strings) are no longer allowed for timezone. If NULL is given for timezone, the timezone identifier given by date_default_timezone_get() will be used instead of ICUʼs default. |
Examples
Example #1 datefmt_create() example
<?php
$fmt = datefmt_create( "en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN
echo "First Formatted output is ".datefmt_format( $fmt , 0
$fmt = datefmt_create( "de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN
echo "Second Formatted output is ".datefmt_format( $fmt , 0
$fmt = datefmt_create( "en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ,"MM/dd/yyyy"
echo "First Formatted output with pattern is ".datefmt_format( $fmt , 0
$fmt = datefmt_create( "de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ,"MM/dd/yyyy"
echo "Second Formatted output with pattern is ".datefmt_format( $fmt , 0
?>
Example #2 OO example
<?php
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( "en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN
echo "First Formatted output is ".$fmt->format(0
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( "de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN
echo "Second Formatted output is ".$fmt->format(0
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( "en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ,"MM/dd/yyyy"
echo "First Formatted output with pattern is ".$fmt->format(0
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( "de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN , "MM/dd/yyyy"
echo "Second Formatted output with pattern is ".$fmt->format(0
?>
The above example will output:
First Formatted output is Wednesday, December 31, 1969 4:00:00 PM PT
Second Formatted output is Mittwoch, 31. Dezember 1969 16:00 Uhr GMT-08:00
First Formatted output with pattern is 12/31/1969
Second Formatted output with pattern is 12/31/1969
