CDateFormatter

Package system.i18n
Inheritance class CDateFormatter » CComponent
Since 1.0
Source Code framework/i18n/CDateFormatter.php
CDateFormatter provides date/time localization functionalities.

CDateFormatter allows you to format dates and times in a locale-sensitive manner. Patterns are interpreted in the locale that the CDateFormatter instance is associated with. For example, month names and weekday names may vary under different locales, which yields different formatting results. The patterns that CDateFormatter recognizes are as defined in CLDR.

CDateFormatter supports predefined patterns as well as customized ones:
