Procedural style

datefmt_create(
    ?string $locale,
    int $dateType = IntlDateFormatter::FULL,

    IntlTimeZone|DateTimeZone|string|null $timezone = null,
    IntlCalendar|int|null $calendar = null,
    ?string $pattern = null
): ?IntlDateFormatter

Create a date formatter.

Parameters

locale

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

dateType

Date type to use (none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants.

timeType

Time type to use (none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants.

timezone

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

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.

pattern

Optional pattern to use when formatting or parsing. Possible patterns are documented at » https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/format_parse/datetime/.

Return Values

The created IntlDateFormatter or null in case of failure.

Changelog

Version Description
5.5.0/PECL 3.0.0

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.

Examples

Example #1 datefmt_create() example

<?php
$fmt 
datefmt_create"en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    
'America/Los_Angeles'IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  );
echo 
"First Formatted output is ".datefmt_format$fmt 0);
$fmt datefmt_create"de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  );
echo 
"Second Formatted output is ".datefmt_format$fmt 0);

$fmt datefmt_create"en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
     
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  ,"MM/dd/yyyy");
echo 
"First Formatted output with pattern is ".datefmt_format$fmt 0);
$fmt datefmt_create"de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
     
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  ,"MM/dd/yyyy");
echo 
"Second Formatted output with pattern is ".datefmt_format$fmt 0);
?>

Example #2 OO example

<?php
$fmt 
= new IntlDateFormatter"en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  );
echo 
"First Formatted output is ".$fmt->format(0);
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter"de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  );
echo 
"Second Formatted output is ".$fmt->format(0);

$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter"en_US" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
     
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN  ,"MM/dd/yyyy");
echo 
"First Formatted output with pattern is ".$fmt->format(0);
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter"de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULLIntlDateFormatter::FULL,
      
'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN "MM/dd/yyyy");
echo 
"Second Formatted output with pattern is ".$fmt->format(0);
?>

The above example will output:

First Formatted output is Wednesday, December 31, 1969 4:00:00 PM PT
Second Formatted output is Mittwoch, 31. Dezember 1969 16:00 Uhr GMT-08:00
First Formatted output with pattern is 12/31/1969
Second Formatted output with pattern is 12/31/1969
