IntlDateFormatter::setLenient
datefmt_set_lenient
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PECL intl >= 1.0.0)
IntlDateFormatter::setLenient -- datefmt_set_lenient — Set the leniency of the parser
Description
Object oriented style
public IntlDateFormatter::setLenient ( bool $lenient ) : bool
Procedural style
datefmt_set_lenient ( IntlDateFormatter $fmt , bool $lenient ) : bool
Define if the parser is strict or lenient in interpreting inputs that do not match the pattern exactly. Enabling lenient parsing allows the parser to accept otherwise flawed date or time patterns, parsing as much as possible to obtain a value. Extra space, unrecognized tokens, or invalid values ("February 30th") are not accepted.
Parameters
-
fmt
-
The formatter resource
-
lenient
-
Sets whether the parser is lenient or not, default is
true
(lenient).
Return Values
Returns true
on success or false
on failure.
Examples
Example #1 datefmt_set_lenient() example
<?php $fmt = datefmt_create( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN, 'dd/MM/yyyy' ); echo 'lenient of the formatter is : '; if ($fmt->isLenient()) { echo 'TRUE'; } else { echo 'FALSE'; } datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message(); echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code(); } datefmt_set_lenient($fmt, false); echo "\nNow lenient of the formatter is : "; if ($fmt->isLenient()) { echo 'TRUE'; } else { echo 'FALSE'; } datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); echo "\nTrying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971'); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { echo "\nError_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message(); echo "\nError_code is : ".intl_get_error_code(); } ?>
Example #2 OO example
<?php $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN, 'dd/MM/yyyy' ); echo 'lenient of the formatter is : '; if ($fmt->isLenient()) { echo 'TRUE'; } else { echo 'FALSE'; } $fmt->parse('35/13/1971'); echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971'); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message(); echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code(); } $fmt->setLenient(FALSE); echo "\nNow lenient of the formatter is : "; if ($fmt->isLenient()) { echo 'TRUE'; } else { echo 'FALSE'; } $fmt->parse('35/13/1971'); echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971'); if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) { echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message(); echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code(); } ?>
The above example will output:
lenient of the formatter is : TRUE Trying to do parse('35/13/1971'). Result is : 66038400 Now lenient of the formatter is : FALSE Trying to do parse('35/13/1971'). Result is : Error_msg is : Date parsing failed: U_PARSE_ERROR Error_code is : 9
