IntlDateFormatter::parse -- datefmt_parse — Parse string to a timestamp value
Object oriented style
public IntlDateFormatter::parse ( string $value [, int &$position ] ) : int
Procedural style
datefmt_parse ( IntlDateFormatter $fmt , string $value [, int &$position ] ) : int
Converts string $value to an incremental time value, starting at $parse_pos and consuming as much of the input value as possible.
fmt
The formatter resource
value
string to convert to a time
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.
timestamp parsed value, or false
if value can't be parsed.
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() 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
