datetime: String representing the date/time.

Valori restituiti

Returns associative array with detailed info about given date/time.

The returned array has keys for year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction, and is_localtime.

If is_localtime is present then zone_type indicates the type of timezone. For type 1 (UTC offset) the zone, is_dst fields are added; for type 2 (abbreviation) the fields tz_abbr, is_dst are added; and for type 3 (timezone identifier) the tz_abbr, tz_id are added.

The array includes warning_count and warnings fields. The first one indicate how many warnings there were. The keys of elements warnings array indicate the position in the given datetime where the warning occurred, with the string value describing the warning itself. An example below shows such a warning.

The array also contains error_count and errors fields. The first one indicate how many errors were found. The keys of elements errors array indicate the position in the given datetime where the error occurred, with the string value describing the error itself. An example below shows such an error.

Avviso

The number of array elements in the warnings and errors arrays might be less than warning_count or error_count if they occurred at the same position.

Errori/Eccezioni

This functions throws ValueError when the datetime contains NULL-bytes.

Log delle modifiche

Versione	Descrizione
8.0.21, 8.1.8, 8.2.0	Now throws ValueError when NULL-bytes are passed into `datetime`, which previously was silently ignored.
7.2.0	The `zone` element of the returned array represents seconds instead of minutes now, and its sign is inverted. For instance `-120` is now `7200`.

It seems that the safest way to check for errors is not by checking the number of errors, but warnings instead. See the following example where "m" and "d" are swapped and thus not correct.

<?php
var_dump( date_parse_from_format('m.d.Y', '18.10.2024') );

OUTPUT:
array(12) {
  ["year"]=>
  int(2024)
  ["month"]=>
  int(18)
  ["day"]=>
  int(10)
  ["hour"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["minute"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["second"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["fraction"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["warning_count"]=>
  int(1)
  ["warnings"]=>
  array(1) {
    [10]=>
    string(27) "The parsed date was invalid"
  }
  ["error_count"]=>
  int(0)
  ["errors"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["is_localtime"]=>
  bool(false)
}
?>

The function simply assigns 18 to the "month" field without errors!! So simply use an if-condition and check "warning_count" to detect possible errors.
