public static IntlCalendar::createInstance(IntlTimeZone|DateTimeZone|string|null $timezone = null, ?string $locale = null): ?IntlCalendar

Procedural style

Given a timezone and locale, this method creates an IntlCalendar object. This factory method may return a subclass of IntlCalendar.

The calendar created will represent the time instance at which it was created, based on the system time. The fields can all be cleared by calling IntCalendar::clear() with no arguments. See also IntlGregorianCalendar::__construct().

Parameters

timezone

The timezone to use.

locale

A locale to use or null to use the default locale.

Return Values

The created IntlCalendar instance or null on failure.

Examples

Example #1 IntlCalendar::createInstance()

<?php
ini_set
('intl.default_locale', 'es_ES');
ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Madrid');

$cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance();
echo
"No arguments\n";
var_dump(get_class($cal),
IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, IntlDateFormatter::FULL));
echo
"\n";

echo
"Explicit timezone\n";
$cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance(IntlTimeZone::getGMT());
var_dump(get_class($cal),
IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, IntlDateFormatter::FULL));
echo
"\n";

echo
"Explicit locale (with calendar)\n";
$cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance(NULL, 'es_ES@calendar=persian');
var_dump(get_class($cal),
IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, IntlDateFormatter::FULL));

The above example will output:

No arguments
string(21) "IntlGregorianCalendar"
string(68) "martes 18 de junio de 2013 14:11:02 Hora de verano de Europa Central"

Explicit timezone
string(21) "IntlGregorianCalendar"
string(45) "martes 18 de junio de 2013 12:11:02 GMT+00:00"

Explicit locale (with calendar)
string(12) "IntlCalendar"
string(70) "martes 28 de Khordad de 1392 14:11:02 Hora de verano de Europa Central"
