IntlDateFormatter::create

Object oriented style

Object oriented style (constructor)

Procedural style

Create a date formatter.

Locale to use when formatting or parsing or NULL to use the value specified in the ini setting intl.default_locale.

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.

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.

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 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.

Optional pattern to use when formatting or parsing. Possible patterns are documented at » http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime.

The created IntlDateFormatter or FALSE in case of failure.

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.
