date_parse — Returns associative array with detailed info about given date
$date
) : array
Returns array with information about the parsed date
on success or FALSE on failure.
In case the date format has an error, the element 'errors' will contains the error messages.
Example #1 A date_parse() example
<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[year] => 2006
[month] => 12
[day] => 12
[hour] => 10
[minute] => 0
[second] => 0
[fraction] => 0.5
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array()
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array()
[is_localtime] =>
)
Relative formats do not influence the values parsed from absolute formats, but are parsed into the "relative" element.
Example #2 date_parse() with relative formats
<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5 +1 week +1 hour"));
?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[year] => 2006
[month] => 12
[day] => 12
[hour] => 10
[minute] => 0
[second] => 0
[fraction] => 0.5
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array
