DATEFMT_SET_LENIENT(3)							 1						    DATEFMT_SET_LENIENT(3)

IntlDateFormatter::setLenient - Set the leniency of the parser

	Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
       public bool IntlDateFormatter::setLenient (bool	$lenient)

DESCRIPTION
	Procedural style
       bool datefmt_set_lenient (IntlDateFormatter  $fmt, bool	$lenient)

	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
	      o $fmt
		- The formatter resource

	      o $lenient
		- Sets whether the parser is lenient or not, default is TRUE (lenient).

RETURN VALUES
	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      datefmt_set_lenient(3) example

	      <?php
	      $fmt = datefmt_create(
		  'en_US',
		  IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
		  IntlDateFormatter::FULL,

	      }
	      datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
	      echo "
 Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
	      if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
		  echo "

	      }
	      datefmt_set_lenient($fmt, false);
	      echo "
Now lenient of the formatter is : ";
	      if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
		  echo 'TRUE';
	      } else {
		  echo 'FALSE';
	      }
	      datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
	      echo "

	      if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
		  echo "
Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
		  echo "
Error_code is : ".intl_get_error_code();
	      }

	      ?>

       Example #2

	      OO example

	      <?php
	      $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter(
		  'en_US',
		  IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
		  IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
		  'America/Los_Angeles',
		  IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,
		  'dd/MM/yyyy'
	      );
	      echo 'lenient of the formatter is : ';
	      if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
		  echo 'TRUE';
	      } else {
		  echo 'FALSE';
	      }
	      $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
	      echo "
 Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
	      if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
		  echo "
Error_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
		  echo "
Error_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
	      }

	      $fmt->setLenient(FALSE);
	      echo "
Now lenient of the formatter is : ";
	      if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
		  echo 'TRUE';
	      } else {
		  echo 'FALSE';
	      }
	      $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
	      echo "
 Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
	      if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
		  echo "
Error_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
		  echo "
Error_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
	      }

	      ?>

       The above example will output:

       lenient of the formatter is : TRUE
       Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
       Result is : 66038400
       Now lenient of the formatter is : FALSE
       Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
       Result is :
       Error_msg is : Date parsing failed: U_PARSE_ERROR
       Error_code is : 9
