Method Detail

__construct() ¶ public

__construct(Cake\Chronos\ChronosTimeDateTimeInterface|string|null $time = null, DateTimeZone|string|null $timezone = null)

Copies time from onther instance or from time string in the format HH[:.]mm or HH[:.]mm[:.]ss.u.

Defaults to server time.

Parameters

Cake\Chronos\ChronosTimeDateTimeInterface|string|null $time optional: Time
DateTimeZone|string|null $timezone optional: The timezone to use for now

__toString() ¶ public

__toString(): string

Format the instance as a string using the set format

Returns

string

_formatObject() ¶ protected

_formatObject(DateTimeInterface $date, array<int>|string $format, string|null $locale): string

Returns a translated and localized date string. Implements what IntlDateFormatter::formatObject() is in PHP 5.5+

Parameters

DateTimeInterface $date: Date.
array<int>|string $format: Format.
string|null $locale: The locale name in which the date should be displayed.

Returns

string

_parseDateTime() ¶ protected static

_parseDateTime(string $time, array<int>|string $format, DateTimeZone|string|null $tz = null): static|null

Returns a new Time object after parsing the provided time string based on the passed or configured date time format. This method is locale dependent, Any string that is passed to this function will be interpreted as a locale dependent string.

Unlike DateTime, the time zone of the returned instance is always converted to $tz (default time zone if null) even if the $time string specified a time zone. This is a limitation of IntlDateFormatter.

If it was impossible to parse the provided time, null will be returned.

Example:

 $time = Time::parseDateTime('10/13/2013 12:54am');
 $time = Time::parseDateTime('13 Oct, 2013 13:54', 'dd MMM, y H:mm');
 $time = Time::parseDateTime('10/10/2015', [IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::NONE]);

Parameters

string $time: The time string to parse.
array<int>|string $format: Any format accepted by IntlDateFormatter.
DateTimeZone|string|null $tz optional: The timezone for the instance

Returns

static|null

i18nFormat() ¶ public

i18nFormat(string|int|null $format = null, string|null $locale = null): string|int

Returns a formatted string for this time object using the preferred format and language for the specified locale.

It is possible to specify the desired format for the string to be displayed. You can either pass IntlDateFormatter constants as the first argument of this function, or pass a full ICU date formatting string as specified in the following resource: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/format_parse/datetime/#datetime-format-syntax.

Examples

$time = new Time('23:10:10');
$time->i18nFormat();
$time->i18nFormat(\IntlDateFormatter::FULL);
$time->i18nFormat("HH':'mm':'ss");

You can control the default format used through Time::setToStringFormat().

You can read about the available IntlDateFormatter constants at https://secure.php.net/manual/en/class.intldateformatter.php

Should you need to use a different locale for displaying this time object, pass a locale string as the third parameter to this function.

Examples

$time = new Time('2014-04-20');
$time->i18nFormat('de-DE');
$time->i18nFormat(\IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'de-DE');

You can control the default locale used through DateTime::setDefaultLocale(). If empty, the default will be taken from the intl.default_locale ini config.
