date_parse

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7)

date_parse — Returns associative array with detailed info about given date

说明

array date_parse ( string $date )

参数

date

Date in format accepted by strtotime().

返回值

Returns array with information about the parsed date on success 或者在失败时返回 FALSE.

错误／异常

In case the date format has an error, the element 'errors' will contains the error messages.

范例

Example #1 A date_parse() example

<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>

以上例程会输出：

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"));
?>

以上例程会输出：

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] => Array
        (
            [year] => 0
            [month] => 0
            [day] => 7
            [hour] => 1
            [minute] => 0
            [second] => 0
        )

)

It's sometimes useful to be able to store incomplete dates, for example when all you know of someone's birthdate is the year or the month and day.

date_parse() handles (and MySQL accepts) dates containing zero-value elements such as "2017-00-00" and "0000-03-29", leaving it up to the parent application to determine when to require and how to handle missing date elements. date_parse() correctly reports zero values for zero-value date elements, reports an 'invalid date' warning, and does not report an error.

Example 1: Year only
<?php print_r( date_parse( '2017-00-00' ) );?>
generates:
<?php
Array
(
    [year] => 2017
    [month] => 0
    [day] => 0
    [hour] =>
    [minute] =>
    [second] =>
    [fraction] =>
    [warning_count] => 1
    [warnings] => Array
        (
            [11] => The parsed date was invalid
        )

    [error_count] => 0
    [errors] => Array
        (
        )

    [is_localtime] =>
)
?>

Example 2: Month and day only
<?php print_r( date_parse( '0000-03-29' ) )?>
generates:
<?php
Array
(
    [year] => 0
    [month] => 3
    [day] => 29
    [hour] =>
    [minute] =>
    [second] =>
    [fraction] =>
    [warning_count] => 1
    [warnings] => Array
        (
            [11] => The parsed date was invalid
        )

    [error_count] => 0
    [errors] => Array
        (
        )

    [is_localtime] =>
)
?>

However, simply omitting date elements gives PHP too much discretion in second-guessing our intentions:

Example 3: Truncated date:
<?php print_r( date_parse( '2017-03' ) )?>
generates:
<?php
Array
(
    [year] => 2017
    [month] => 3
    [day] => 1
    [hour] =>
    [minute] =>
    [second] =>
    [fraction] =>
    [warning_count] => 0
    [warnings] => Array
        (
        )

    [error_count] => 0
    [errors] => Array
        (
        )

    [is_localtime] =>
)?>
In this case, PHP supplies a day value of 1 and does not report a warning.

Similarly, this feature of accepting zero date elements does not carry over to timestamps:

<?php $dDate = strtotime( '2017-03-00' );
print_r( getdate( $dDate ) ); ?>

displays:

<?php Array
(
    [seconds] => 0
    [minutes] => 0
    [hours] => 0
    [mday] => 28
    [wday] => 2
    [mon] => 2
    [year] => 2017
    [yday] => 58
    [weekday] => Tuesday
    [month] => February
    [0] => 1488268800
)
?>
In this case, PHP interprets the "zeroth" day of March to be the last day of February.

Here is a workaround for the "Feb 2010" problem. It also handles "2014".

See checkdate() at http://php.net/manual/en/function.checkdate.php for Gregorian date validation.

Be aware that date_parse() is happy with just a time zone and it can be pretty counter-intuitive. E.g.:

<?php
var_dump( date_parse('Europe/Madrid') );
?>

... prints an array where year, month, day... are FALSE. But so do these:

<?php
var_dump( date_parse('A') );
var_dump( date_parse('B') );
var_dump( date_parse('X') );
?>

Don't forget to further validate date_parse()'s output even when it isn't FALSE and the 'errors' key is empty.

A warning to others. Some keys will return with a default value where others will return as false if the date string has it omitted. Unsure if this is a bug or feature, but hopefully this will save someone some time.
<?php
///Example
$input = "Feb 2010";
$info = date_parse($input);
var_dump($info);

/*Returns:
array(12) {
    ["year"]=> int(2010)
    ["month"]=> int(2)
    ["day"]=> int(1)    //<---expected false like below
    ["hour"]=> bool(false)
    ["minute"]=> bool(false)
    ["second"]=> bool(false)
    ["fraction"]=> bool(false)
    ["warning_count"]=> int(0)
    ["warnings"]=> array(0) { }
    ["error_count"]=> int(0)
    ["errors"]=> array(0) { }
    ["is_localtime"]=> bool(false)
}*/

<?php

$ida = '091122671325';

print_r(idtodate($ida));

Output:
1. If the year-month-day is smaller than today (2009-11-23), but bigger than 1999: year => 2009
ID: 091122671325
Array ( [year] => 2009 [month] => 11 [day] => 22 )

2. If the year-month-day is the same as, or bigger than today, but smaller than 2000: year => 1909
ID: 091123671325
Array ( [year] => 1909 [month] => 11 [day] => 23 )

Caution: date_parse expects months 1..12 only.

date_parse("13/1/5769")  for  month=13, Ehul in Jewish calendar, results in  month==3 instead of month==13.

It does, however, report the error array showing "Unexpected Character."

It would be nice if date_parse could handle the months properly (just report back a "13" for the month). The older approach of substr() is my workaround.

Careful - date_parse is perfectly happy with something like this:

 date_parse("2006-2-31");
