IntlCalendar
PHP Manual

IntlCalendar::toDateTime

Convert an IntlCalendar into a DateTime object

Description

Object-oriented style

public DateTimefalse IntlCalendar::toDateTime()

Procedural style

DateTimefalse intlcal_to_date_time(IntlCalendar $calendar)

Create a DateTime object that represents the same instant (up to second precision, with a rounding error of less than 1 second) and has an analog timezone to this object (the difference being DateTimeʼs timezone will be backed by PHPʼs timezone while IntlCalendarʼs timezone is backed by ICUʼs).

Parameters

calendar

An IntlCalendar instance.

Return Values

A DateTime object with the same timezone as this object (though using PHPʼs database instead of ICUʼs) and the same time, except for the smaller precision (second precision instead of millisecond). Returns false on failure.

Examples

Example #1 IntlCalendar::toDateTime

<?php
ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC');
ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'pt_PT');

$cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance('Europe/Lisbon'); //current time

$dt = $cal->toDateTime();
print_r($dt);

The above example will output:

DateTime Object
(
    [date] => 2013-07-02 00:29:13
    [timezone_type] => 3
    [timezone] => Europe/Lisbon
)
