IntlDateFormatter::setLenient -- datefmt_set_lenient — Set the leniency of the parser
Object oriented style
$lenient
)Procedural style
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.
fmt
The formatter resource
lenient
Sets whether the parser is lenient or not, default is FALSE
(strict).
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure.
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').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 "\n 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');
}
$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " .$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');
}
$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " .$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 : -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
