Set the leniency of the parser
public bool IntlDateFormatter::setLenient ( bool $lenient )
Object oriented style
Procedural style
Define if the parser is strict or lenient in interpreting inputs that do not match the pattern exactly. Enabling lenient parsing allows the parser to accept otherwise flawed date or time patterns, parsing as much as possible to obtain a value. Extra space, unrecognized tokens, or invalid values ("February 30th") are not accepted.
Parameters:
fmt
The formatter resource
lenient
Sets whether the parser is lenient or not, default is TRUE
(lenient).
Returns:
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure.
Examples:
datefmt_set_lenient() example
<?php $fmt = datefmt_create( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN, 'dd/MM/yyyy' ); echo 'lenient of the formatter is : '; if ($fmt->isLenient()) { echo 'TRUE'; } else { echo 'FALSE'; } datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message(); echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code(); } datefmt_set_lenient($fmt, false); echo "\nNow lenient of the formatter is : "; if ($fmt->isLenient()) { echo 'TRUE'; } else { echo 'FALSE'; } datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); echo "\nTrying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { echo "\nError_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message(); echo "\nError_code is : ".intl_get_error_code(); } ?>
OO example
