IntlDateFormatter::parse -- datefmt_parse — Parse string to a timestamp value
Object oriented style
$value
[, int &$position
] )Procedural style
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
Example #1 datefmt_parse() 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");
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( "de-DE" ,IntlDateFormatter::FULL,IntlDateFormatter::FULL,'America/Los_Angeles',IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN );
echo "Second parsed output is ".$fmt->parse("Mittwoch, 20. Dezember 1989 16:00 Uhr GMT-08:00");
?>
Example #2 OO 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
