| Y | A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits | Examples: 1999 or 2003 |
| y | A two digit representation of a year (which is assumed to be in the range 1970-2069, inclusive) | Examples: 99 or 03 (which will be interpreted as 1999 and 2003, respectively) |
| Time | --- | --- |
| a and A | Ante meridiem and Post meridiem | am or pm |
| g and h | 12-hour format of an hour with or without leading zero | 1 through 12 or 01 through 12 |

| i | Minutes with leading zeros | 00 to 59 |
| s | Seconds, with leading zeros | 00 through 59 |
| u | Microseconds (up to six digits) | Example: 45, 654321 |

| Full Date/Time | --- | --- |
| U | Seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT) | Example: 1292177455 |
| Whitespace and Separators | --- | --- |
| (space) | One space or one tab | Example: |
| # | One of the following separation symbol: ;, :, /, ., ,, -, ( or ) | Example: / |
| ;, :, /, ., ,, -, ( or ) | The specified character. | Example: - |
| ? | A random byte | Example: ^ (Be aware that for UTF-8 characters you might need more than one ?. In this case, using * is probably what you want instead) |
| * | Random bytes until the next separator or digit | Example: * in Y-*-d with the string 2009-aWord-08 will match aWord |
| ! | Resets all fields (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction and timezone information) to the Unix Epoch | Without !, all fields will be set to the current date and time. |
| | | Resets all fields (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction and timezone information) to the Unix Epoch if they have not been parsed yet | Y-m-d| will set the year, month and day to the information found in the string to parse, and sets the hour, minute and second to 0. |
| + | If this format specifier is present, trailing data in the string will not cause an error, but a warning instead | Use DateTime::getLastErrors() to find out whether trailing data was present. |
Unrecognized characters in the format string will cause the parsing to fail and an error message is appended to the returned structure. You can query error messages with DateTime::getLastErrors().
To include literal characters in format, you have
to escape them with a backslash (\).
If format does not contain the character
! then portions of the generated time which are not
specified in format will be set to the current
system time.
If format contains the
character !, then portions of the generated
time not provided in format, as well as
values to the left-hand side of the !, will
be set to corresponding values from the Unix epoch.
The Unix epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
timeString representing the time.
timezoneA DateTimeZone object representing the desired time zone.
If timezone is omitted and
time contains no timezone,
the current timezone will be used.
Notă:
The
timezoneparameter and the current timezone are ignored when thetimeparameter either contains a UNIX timestamp (e.g. 946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g. 2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00).
Returns a new DateTime instance sau FALSE în cazul eșecului.
