Format date php manual

Notes Note : The DateInterval::format method does not recalculate carry over points in time strings nor in date segments. With php 5. It is not possible to calculate how many days are in a given year or month without a point of reference in time. This is correct, but if I subtract to note that in only one of the datetime values we have the time the result is 21 and not 20 as I expected. This is because the result of the diff is 20 days AND 14 hours, 20 mins and 59 secs. Total number of days as a result of a DateTime::diff or unknown otherwise.

It can be confusing creating new DateTime from timestamp when your default timezone date. You can get same results as date by setting the timezone after object creation. Please note that several points here are wrong. So that becomes , while becomes Also becomes But at least you can use milliseconds as microseconds.

Something there must definitely be wrong. Micro is, by definition, one millionth, so anything above is odd. Be aware that using this method when calling an invalid date still generates a date. There is no option to specify date format 'c' e.

I've found that on PHP 5. Just a note that it is possible to call createFromFormat non statically. Note that the U option does not support negative timestamps before You have to use date for that. It seems that a pipe ' ' option in formating string works only with PHP version 5. We had an issue with it on versions 5. Yet it was fine with 5. I thought this would be helpful. When using format "z Y" the function may return an incorrect date as of 7. I understand that this bug is being worked on but a simple solution that works now is to supply the year value first.

Beware specifying a timezone in the format as it will take precedence over the DateTimeZone object. For instance, in Toronto, the time change happens on In other words, the timezone argument has no effect in this case, at all, which I found pretty surprising.

Mon through Sun or Sunday through Saturday. As example "" is equivalent to "". If you combine the previous two facts and underflow both the day and the month, the following happens: "" first gets converted to "" which then gets converted to "". This also happens with the string "", which gets transformed into "" the year -1 in the ISO calendar, which is 2 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
