Properties

$defaultLocale

$defaultLocale : string

The default locale to be used for displaying formatted date strings.

Type

string

$_formatters

$_formatters : array<mixed,\IntlDateFormatter>

In-memory cache of date formatters

Type

array<mixed,\IntlDateFormatter>

$_jsonEncodeFormat

$_jsonEncodeFormat : string|array|integer

The format to use when when converting this object to json

The format should be either the formatting constants from IntlDateFormatter as described in (https://secure.php.net/manual/en/class.intldateformatter.php) or a pattern as specified in (http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classSimpleDateFormat.html#details)

It is possible to provide an array of 2 constants. In this case, the first position will be used for formatting the date part of the object and the second position will be used to format the time part.

Type

string|array|integer

$_isDateInstance

$_isDateInstance : boolean

Caches whether or not this class is a subclass of a Date or MutableDate

Type

boolean

Methods

getDefaultLocale()

getDefaultLocale() : string|null

Gets the default locale.

Returns

string|null —

The default locale string to be used or null.

setDefaultLocale()

setDefaultLocale(string|null  $locale = null) : void

Sets the default locale.

Parameters

string|null $locale

The default locale string to be used or null.

nice()

nice(string|\DateTimeZone|null  $timezone = null, string|null  $locale = null) : string

Returns a nicely formatted date string for this object.

The format to be used is stored in the static property Time::niceFormat.

Parameters

string|\DateTimeZone|null $timezone

Timezone string or DateTimeZone object in which the date will be displayed. The timezone stored for this object will not be changed.

string|null $locale

The locale name in which the date should be displayed (e.g. pt-BR)

Returns

string —

Formatted date string

i18nFormat()

i18nFormat(string|integer|null  $format = null, string|\DateTimeZone|null  $timezone = null, string|null  $locale = null) : string|integer

Returns a formatted string for this time object using the preferred format and language for the specified locale.

It is possible to specify the desired format for the string to be displayed. You can either pass IntlDateFormatter constants as the first argument of this function, or pass a full ICU date formatting string as specified in the following resource: http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classSimpleDateFormat.html#details.

Additional to IntlDateFormatter constants and date formatting string you can use Time::UNIX_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT to get a unix timestamp

Examples

$time = new Time('2014-04-20 22:10');
$time->i18nFormat(); // outputs '4/20/14, 10:10 PM' for the en-US locale
$time->i18nFormat(\IntlDateFormatter::FULL); // Use the full date and time format
$time->i18nFormat([\IntlDateFormatter::FULL, \IntlDateFormatter::SHORT]); // Use full date but short time format
$time->i18nFormat('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'); // outputs '2014-04-20 22:10'
$time->i18nFormat(Time::UNIX_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT); // outputs '1398031800'

If you wish to control the default format to be used for this method, you can alter the value of the static Time::$defaultLocale variable and set it to one of the possible formats accepted by this function.

You can read about the available IntlDateFormatter constants at https://secure.php.net/manual/en/class.intldateformatter.php

If you need to display the date in a different timezone than the one being used for this Time object without altering its internal state, you can pass a timezone string or object as the second parameter.

Finally, should you need to use a different locale for displaying this time object, pass a locale string as the third parameter to this function.

Examples

$time = new Time('2014-04-20 22:10');
$time->i18nFormat(null, null, 'de-DE');
$time->i18nFormat(\IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'Europe/Berlin', 'de-DE');

You can control the default locale to be used by setting the static variable Time::$defaultLocale to a valid locale string. If empty, the default will be taken from the intl.default_locale ini config.

Parameters

string|integer|null $format

Format string.

string|\DateTimeZone|null $timezone

Timezone string or DateTimeZone object in which the date will be displayed. The timezone stored for this object will not be changed.

string|null $locale

The locale name in which the date should be displayed (e.g. pt-BR)

Returns

string|integer —

Formatted and translated date string

__toString()

__toString() 

{@inheritDoc}

resetToStringFormat()

resetToStringFormat() : void

Resets the format used to the default when converting an instance of this type to a string

setToStringFormat()

setToStringFormat(string|array|integer  $format) : void

Sets the default format used when type converting instances of this type to string

Parameters

string|array|integer $format

Format.

setJsonEncodeFormat()

setJsonEncodeFormat(string|array|integer  $format) : void

Sets the default format used when converting this object to json

Parameters

string|array|integer $format

Format.

parseDateTime()

parseDateTime(string  $time, string|array|null  $format = null) : static|null

Returns a new Time object after parsing the provided time string based on the passed or configured date time format. This method is locale dependent, Any string that is passed to this function will be interpreted as a locale dependent string.

When no $format is provided, the toString format will be used.

If it was impossible to parse the provided time, null will be returned.

Example:

 $time = Time::parseDateTime('10/13/2013 12:54am');
 $time = Time::parseDateTime('13 Oct, 2013 13:54', 'dd MMM, y H:mm');
 $time = Time::parseDateTime('10/10/2015', [IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, -1]);

Parameters

string $time

The time string to parse.

Any format accepted by IntlDateFormatter.

Returns

static|null

parseDate()

parseDate(string  $date, string|integer|null  $format = null) : static|null

Returns a new Time object after parsing the provided $date string based on the passed or configured date time format. This method is locale dependent, Any string that is passed to this function will be interpreted as a locale dependent string.

When no $format is provided, the wordFormat format will be used.
