DATEFMT_PARSE(3) 1 DATEFMT_PARSE(3) IntlDateFormatter::parse - Parse string to a timestamp value Object oriented style SYNOPSIS
public int IntlDateFormatter::parse (string $value, [int &$position]) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style int datefmt_parse (IntlDateFormatter $fmt, string $value, [int &$position]) Converts string $value to an incremental time value, starting at $parse_pos and consuming as much of the input value as possible. PARAMETERS
o $fmt - The formatter resource o $value - string to convert to a time o $position - Position at which to start the parsing in $value (zero-based). If no error occurs before $value is consumed, $parse_pos will contain -1 otherwise it will contain the position at which parsing ended (and the error occurred). This variable will contain the end position if the parse fails. If $parse_pos > strlen($value), the parse fails immediately. RETURN VALUES
timestamp parsed value, or FALSE if value can't be parsed. EXAMPLES
Example #1 OO example <?php $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); echo 'First parsed output is ' . $fmt->parse('Wednesday, December 20, 1989 4:00:00 PM PT'); $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( 'de-DE', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); ?> Example #2 datefmt_parse(3) example <?php $fmt = datefmt_create( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); echo 'First parsed output is ' . datefmt_parse($fmt, 'Wednesday, December 20, 1989 4:00:00 PM PT'); $fmt = datefmt_create( 'de-DE', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); echo 'Second parsed output is ' . datefmt_parse($fmt, 'Mittwoch, 20. Dezember 1989 16:00 Uhr GMT-08:00'); ? The above example will output: First parsed output is 630201600 Second parsed output is 630201600 SEE ALSO

DATEFMT_CREATE(3) 1 DATEFMT_CREATE(3) IntlDateFormatter::create - Create a date formatter Object oriented style SYNOPSIS
publicstatic IntlDateFormatter IntlDateFormatter::create (string $locale, int $datetype, int $timetype, [mixed $timezone = NULL], [mixed $calendar = NULL], [string $pattern = ""]) DESCRIPTION
Object oriented style (constructor) IntlDateFormatter::__construct (string $locale, int $datetype, int $timetype, [mixed $timezone = NULL], [mixed $calendar = NULL], [string $pattern = ""]) Procedural style IntlDateFormatter datefmt_create (string $locale, int $datetype, int $timetype, [mixed $timezone = NULL], [mixed $calendar = NULL], [string $pattern = ""]) Create a date formatter. PARAMETERS
o $locale - Locale to use when formatting or parsing or NULL to use the value specified in the ini setting intl.default_locale. o $datetype - Date type to use ( none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants. It can also be NULL, in which case ICUs default date type will be used. o $timetype - Time type to use ( none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants. It can also be NULL, in which case ICUs default time type will be used. o $timezone - Time zone ID. The default (and the one used if NULL is given) is the one returned by date_default_timezone_get(3) or, if appli- cable, that of the IntlCalendar object passed for the $calendar parameter. This ID must be a valid identifier on ICUs database or an ID representing an explicit offset, such as GMT-05:30. This can also be an IntlTimeZone or a DateTimeZone object. o $calendar - 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. o $pattern - Optional pattern to use when formatting or parsing. Possible patterns are documented at http://userguide.icu-project.org/format- parse/datetime. RETURN VALUES
The created IntlDateFormatter or FALSE in case of failure. CHANGELOG
