<?php $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); echo 'First parsed output is ' . $fmt->parse('Wednesday, December 20, 1989 4:00:00 PM PT'); $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter( 'de-DE', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); ?>
Example #2 datefmt_parse() example
<?php $fmt = datefmt_create( 'en_US', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); echo 'First parsed output is ' . datefmt_parse($fmt, 'Wednesday, December 20, 1989 4:00:00 PM PT'); $fmt = datefmt_create( 'de-DE', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'America/Los_Angeles', IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN ); echo 'Second parsed output is ' . datefmt_parse($fmt, 'Mittwoch, 20. Dezember 1989 16:00 Uhr GMT-08:00'); ?>
