DATEFMT_SET_LENIENT(3) 1 DATEFMT_SET_LENIENT(3)
IntlDateFormatter::setLenient - Set the leniency of the parser
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public bool IntlDateFormatter::setLenient (bool $lenient)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
bool datefmt_set_lenient (IntlDateFormatter $fmt, bool $lenient)
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
o $fmt
- The formatter resource
o $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(3) 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($fmt, '35/13/1971');
echo "
Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "
Error_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "
Error_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
}
datefmt_set_lenient($fmt, false);
echo "
Now lenient of the formatter is : ";
if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
echo 'TRUE';
} else {
echo 'FALSE';
}
datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
echo "
Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "
Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
echo "
Error_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 "
Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "
Error_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "
Error_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
}
$fmt->setLenient(FALSE);
echo "
Now lenient of the formatter is : ";
if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
echo 'TRUE';
} else {
echo 'FALSE';
}
$fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
echo "
Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
Result is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "
Error_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "
Error_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
