Example #2 OO example

<?php $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter(     'en_US',     IntlDateFormatter::FULL,IntlDateFormatter::FULL,     'America/Los_Angeles',     IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,     'MM/dd/yyyy' echo 'pattern of the formatter is : ' . $fmt->getPattern( echo 'First Formatted output is ' . $fmt->format(0 $fmt->setPattern('yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss z' echo 'Now pattern of the formatter is : ' . $fmt->getPattern( echo 'Second Formatted output is ' . $fmt->format(0 ?>
