IntlDateFormatter::setLenient

datefmt_set_lenient

(No version information available, might be only in CVS)

IntlDateFormatter::setLenient -- datefmt_set_lenientSet the leniency of the parser

Description

Object oriented style

bool IntlDateFormatter::setLenient ( bool $lenient )

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

fmt

The formatter resource

lenient

Sets whether the parser is lenient or not, default is FALSE (strict).

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::GREGO
RIAN  
,"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').Result is : " .datefmt_parse($fmt,"35/13/1971");
if( 
intl_get_error_code() !=){
        echo 
"Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
        echo 
"Error_code is : ".intl_get_error_code();
}
datefmt_set_lenient($fmt,false);
echo 
"Now lenient of the formatter is : ";
if( 
$fmt->isLenient() ){
        echo(
'TRUE');
}else{
        echo(
'FALSE');
}
datefmt_parse($fmt){
        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::GRE
GORIAN
,"dd/mm/yyyy"  );
echo 
"lenient of the formatter is : ";
if( 
$fmt->isLenient() ){
        echo(
'TRUE');
}else{
        echo(
'FALSE');
}
$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
echo 
"\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " .$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
if( 
intl_get_error_code() !=){
        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){
        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 : -2147483
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
