class DateTimePlus

Extends DateTime().

This class extends the PHP DateTime class with more flexible initialization parameters, allowing a date to be created from an existing date object, a timestamp, a string with an unknown format, a string with a known format, or an array of date parts. It also adds an errors array and a __toString() method to the date object.

In addition, it swaps the IntlDateFormatter into the format() method, if it is available. The format() method is also extended with a settings array to provide settings needed by the IntlDateFormatter. It will will only be used if the class is available, a langcode, country, and calendar have been set, and the format is in the right pattern, otherwise the parent format() method is used in the usual way. These values can either be set globally in the object and reused over and over as the date is repeatedly formatted, or set specifically in the format() method for the requested format.

This class is less lenient than the parent DateTime class. It changes the default behavior for handling date values like '2011-00-00'. The parent class would convert that value to '2010-11-30' and report a warning but not an error. This extension treats that as an error.

As with the base class, a date object may be created even if it has errors. It has an errors array attached to it that explains what the errors are. This is less disruptive than allowing datetime exceptions to abort processing. The calling script can decide what to do about errors using hasErrors() and getErrors().
