strptime() returns an array with the date parsed, or FALSE on error.
Month and weekday names and other language dependent strings respect the current locale set with setlocale() (LC_TIME).
The string to parse (e.g. returned from strftime()).
The format used in date (e.g. the same as used in strftime()). Note that some of the format options available to strftime() may not have any effect within strptime(); the exact subset that are supported will vary based on the operating system and C library in use.
For more information about the format options, read the strftime() page.
Returns an arrayIm Fehlerfall wird FALSE zurückgegeben..
parameters | Description |
---|---|
"tm_sec" | Seconds after the minute (0-61) |
"tm_min" | Minutes after the hour (0-59) |
"tm_hour" | Hour since midnight (0-23) |
"tm_mday" | Day of the month (1-31) |
"tm_mon" | Months since January (0-11) |
"tm_year" | Years since 1900 |
"tm_wday" | Days since Sunday (0-6) |
"tm_yday" | Days since January 1 (0-365) |
"unparsed" | the date part which was not recognized using the specified format |
Beispiel #1 strptime() example
<?php
$format = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S';
$strf = strftime($format);
echo "$strf\n";
print_r(strptime($strf, $format));
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
03/10/2004 15:54:19 Array ( [tm_sec] => 19 [tm_min] => 54 [tm_hour] => 15 [tm_mday] => 3 [tm_mon] => 9 [tm_year] => 104 [tm_wday] => 0 [tm_yday] => 276 [unparsed] => )
Hinweis: Diese Funktion ist auf Windows-Plattformen nicht implementiert.
Hinweis:
Internally, this function calls the strptime() function provided by the system's C library. This function can exhibit noticeably different behaviour across different operating systems. The use of date_parse_from_format(), which does not suffer from these issues, is recommended on PHP 5.3.0 and later.
Hinweis:
"tm_sec" includes any leap seconds (currently upto 2 a year). For more information on leap seconds, see the » Wikipedia article on leap seconds.
Hinweis:
Prior to PHP 5.2.0, this function could return undefined behaviour. Notably, the "tm_sec", "tm_min" and "tm_hour" entries would return undefined values.
If you are just looking to switch an existing time format into a mysql compatible format(like YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.uuuuuu) you should use STR_TO_DATE.
see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html
However, if you have an old version of mysql (before 4.1), you may want to consider using a regex. The example below doesnt have seconds because they arent used often if you are ripping data from a web page. You will probably have to customize this to your needs.
==code== // for 24 hour times
<?php
$before = "12/15/2005 15:47";\
$after = preg_replace("/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{4}) ([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})/", "$3$1$2$4$5", $before)."00.000000";
echo "$before\n$after\n";
?>
==output==
12/15/2005 15:47
20051215154700.000000
.
If you are unlucky, you will need to be converting to the 24 hour format as well.
==code== // for 12 hour AM/PM times
<?php
$before = "12/15/2005 03:47PM";
// note: you can use an anonymous function instead IF you have php 5
function convert_time($m) { if($m[6]=="PM") { $m[4]+=12; } return $m[3].$m[1].$m[2].$m[4].$m[5]."00.000000"; }
$after = preg_replace_callback("/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{4}) ([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})(AM|PM)/", "convert_time", $before);
echo "$before\n$after\n";
?>
==output==
12/15/2005 03:47PM
20051215154700.000000
On some systems, particularly those of BSD lineage (such as FreeBSD and MacOS X), the tm_wday and tm_yday fields are only initialized if requested explicitly (that is, if the %a/%A/%u/%w and %j formats are specified), while others such as Linux and Solaris will calculate them automatically.
If you want to parse a date or a /time in windows env, i re-write strptime function for windows.
I use the same param and i return the same think that the original one.
I use sscanf to parde the string.
Only some format can be parsed (%S, %M, %H, %d, %m, %Y)
See this page (because the function is too big for this notes)

For Windows user! It's rather the same as strptime!
It uses the previous function: but call strToTime($date, $format) to strToDate($date, $format) because this name is forgiven!
<?php
function strToDateTime($date, $format) {
if(!($date = strToDate($date, $format))) return;
$dateTime = array('sec' => 0, 'min' => 0, 'hour' => 0, 'day' => 0, 'mon' => 0, 'year' => 0, 'timestamp' => 0);
foreach($date as $key => $val) {
switch($key) {
case 'd':
case 'j': $dateTime['day'] = intval($val); break;
case 'D': $dateTime['day'] = intval(date('j', $val)); break;
case 'm':
case 'n': $dateTime['mon'] = intval($val); break;
case 'M': $dateTime['mon'] = intval(date('n', $val)); break;
case 'Y': $dateTime['year'] = intval($val); break;
case 'y': $dateTime['year'] = intval($val)+2000; break;
case 'G':
case 'g':
case 'H':
case 'h': $dateTime['hour'] = intval($val); break;
case 'i': $dateTime['min'] = intval($val); break;
case 's': $dateTime['sec'] = intval($val); break;
}
}
$dateTime['timestamp'] = mktime($dateTime['hour'], $dateTime['min'], $dateTime['sec'], $dateTime['mon'], $dateTime['day'], $dateTime['year']);
return $dateTime;
}
?>
If strptime() fails to match all of the format string and therefore an error occurred the function returns NULL.
The result of strptime() is not affected by the current timezone setting, even though strftime() is. Tested in PHP 5.1.6.
If you need strptime but are restricted to a php version which does not support it (windows or before PHP 5), note that MySQL since Version 4.1.1 offers (almost?) the same functionality with the STR_TO_DATE function.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html

//note, that strptime returns day of year counting from 0, so

//reason returns 106, so I simply add 1900

It says "Parse a time/date generated with strftime()" but that's not entirely correct -- While strptime("2006131", "%Y%W%u") works as expected, strptime("2006131", "%G%V%u") returns false instead of reversing the equivalent - and unambiguous - strftime() usage. I suspect that's because glibc doesn't support that. Anyway, this docu page fails to mention that apparently not all format components supported by strftime() can be used with strptime().
