echo 'Now pattern of the formatter is : ' . datefmt_get_pattern($fmt);
echo 'Second Formatted output with pattern is ' . datefmt_format($fmt, 0);

?>

Example #2 OO example

<?php
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter(
    'en_US',
    IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
    'America/Los_Angeles',
    IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,
    'MM/dd/yyyy'
);
echo 'pattern of the formatter is : ' . $fmt->getPattern();
echo 'First Formatted output is ' . $fmt->format(0);
$fmt->setPattern('yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss z');
echo 'Now pattern of the formatter is : ' . $fmt->getPattern();
echo 'Second Formatted output is ' . $fmt->format(0);
?>
