Formats the time value as a string.
The date formatter resource.
Value to format. This may be a DateTime object, an IntlCalendar object, a numeric type representing a (possibly fractional) number of seconds since epoch or an array in the format output by localtime().
If a DateTime or an IntlCalendar object is passed, its timezone is not considered. The object will be formatted using the formaterʼs configured timezone. If one wants to use the timezone of the object to be formatted, IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone() must be called before with the objectʼs timezone. Alternatively, the static function IntlDateFormatter::formatObject() may be used instead.
The formatted string or, if an error occurred, FALSE
.
Support for providing IntlCalendar objects to the value
parameter was added.
Support for providing DateTime objects to the value

<?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); ?>
<?php $tz = reset(iterator_to_array(IntlTimeZone::createEnumeration('FR'))); $formatter = IntlDateFormatter::create( 'fr_FR', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, $tz, IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); $cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance($tz, '@calendar=islamic-civil'); $cal->set(IntlCalendar::FIELD_MONTH, 8); //9th month, Ramadan $cal->set(IntlCalendar::FIELD_DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); //1st day $cal->clear(IntlCalendar::FIELD_HOUR_OF_DAY); $cal->clear(IntlCalendar::FIELD_MINUTE); $cal->clear(IntlCalendar::FIELD_SECOND); $cal->clear(IntlCalendar::FIELD_MILLISECOND); echo "In this islamic year, Ramadan started/will start on:\n\t", $formatter->format($cal), "\n"; //Itʼs the formatterʼs timezone that is used: $formatter->setTimeZone('Asia/Tokyo'); echo "After changing timezone:\n\t", $formatter->format($cal), "\n";
The above example will output:
In this islamic year, Ramadan started/will start on: mardi 9 juillet 2013 19:00:00 heure avancée d’Europe centrale After changing timezone: mercredi 10 juillet 2013 02:00:00 heure normale du Japon
