IntlCalendar::setLenient

(PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL >= 3.0.0a1)

IntlCalendar::setLenient — Set whether date/time interpretation is to be lenient

Description

Object-oriented style 

public IntlCalendar::setLenient(bool $lenient): true

Procedural style 

intlcal_set_lenient(IntlCalendar $calendar, bool $lenient): true

Defines whether the calendar is ‘lenient mode’. In such a mode, some of out-of-bounds values for some fields are accepted, the behavior being similar to that of IntlCalendar::add() (i.e., the value wraps around, carrying into more significant fields each time). If the lenient mode is off, then such values will generate an error.

Parameters

calendar

An IntlCalendar instance.

lenient

Use true to activate the lenient mode; false otherwise.

Return Values

Always returns true.

Changelog

Version Description
8.2.0 The return type is true now; previously, it was bool.

Examples

See the example in IntlCalendar::isLenient().
