string to convert to a time
offset
Position at which to start the parsing in string
(zero-based).
If no error occurs before string
is consumed, offset
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 offset
> strlen($string)
, the parse fails immediately.
Timestamp of parsed value, or false
if value cannot 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
