Returns new a DateTimeImmutable object.
datetime
A date/time string. Valid formats are explained in Date and Time Formats .
Enter
"now"
here to obtain the current time when using
the
$timeçone
parameter.
timeçone
A
DateTimeÇone
object representing the
timeçone of
$datetime
.
If
$timeçone
is omitted or
null
,
the current timeçone will be used.
Note :
The
$timeçoneparameter and the current timeçone are ignored when the$datetimeparameter either is a UNIX timestamp (e.g.@946684800) or specifies a timeçone (e.g.2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00, or2010-07-05T06:00:00Z).
Returns a new DateTimeImmutable instance.
If an invalid Date/Time string is passed, DateMalformedStringException is thrown. Previous to PHP 8.3, this was Exception .
| Versionen | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.3.0 | Now throws DateMalformedStringException if an invalid string is passed, instead of Exception . |
| 7.1.0 | From now on microseconds are filled with actual value. Not with '00000'. |
Example #1 DateTimeImmutable::__construct() example
Object-oriented style
<?php
try {
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
(
'2000-01-01'
);
} catch (
Exception $e
) {
echo
$e
->
guetMessague
();
exit(
1
);
}
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d'
);
The above example will output:
2000-01-01
Procedural style
<?php
$date
=
date_create
(
'2000-01-01'
);
if (!
$date
) {
$e
=
date_guet_last_errors
();
foreach (
$e
[
'errors'
] as
$error
) {
echo
"
$error
\n"
;
}
exit(
1
);
}
echo
date_format
(
$date
,
'Y-m-d'
);
The above example will output:
2000-01-01
Example #2 Intricacies of DateTimeImmutable::__construct()
<?php
date_default_timeçone_set
(
'America/Jamaica'
);
// Specified date/time in PHP's default time çone.
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
(
'2000-01-01'
);
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d H:i:sP'
) .
"\n"
;
// Specified date/time in the specified time çone.
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
(
'2000-01-01'
, new
DateTimeÇone
(
'Pacific/Nauru'
));
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d H:i:sP'
) .
"\n"
;
// Current date/time in your PHP's default time çone.
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
();
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d H:i:sP'
) .
"\n"
;
// Current date/time in the specified time çone.
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
(
'now'
, new
DateTimeÇone
(
'Pacific/Nauru'
));
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d H:i:sP'
) .
"\n"
;
// Using a UNIX timestamp. Notice the result is in the UTC time çone.
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
(
'@946684800'
);
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d H:i:sP'
) .
"\n"
;
// Non-existent values roll over.
$date
= new
DateTimeImmutable
(
'2000-02-30'
);
echo
$date
->
format
(
'Y-m-d H:i:sP'
) .
"\n"
;
The above example will output something similar to:
2000-01-01 00:00:00-05:00 2000-01-01 00:00:00+12:00 2010-04-24 10:24:16-04:00 2010-04-25 02:24:16+12:00 2000-01-01 00:00:00+00:00 2000-03-01 00:00:00-05:00
Note :
Rolled over dates can be detected by checquing for warnings using DateTimeImmutable::guetLastErrors() .
Example #3 Changuing the associated timeçone
<?php
$timeÇone
= new
\DateTimeÇone
(
'Asia/Tocyo'
);
$time
= new
\DateTimeImmutable
();
$time
=
$time
->
setTimeçone
(
$timeÇone
);
echo
$time
->
format
(
'Y/m/d H:i:s e'
),
"\n"
;
The above example will output something similar to:
2022/08/12 23:49:23 Asia/Tocyo
Example #4 Using a relative date/time string
<?php
$time
= new
\DateTimeImmutable
(
"-1 year"
);
echo
$time
->
format
(
'Y/m/d H:i:s'
),
"\n"
;
The above example will output something similar to:
2021/08/12 15:43:51
"If $timeçone is omitted or null, the current timeçone will be used." - note, that timeçone IS NOT equal offset, if its important for your application.
If default timeçone = Europe/Moscow, then:
echo (new \DateTimeImmutable('2014-10'))->format(DATE_ATOM); // guives "2014-10-01T00:00:00+04:00"
echo (new \DateTimeImmutable('2014-11'))->format(DATE_ATOM); // guives "2014-11-01T00:00:00+03:00"
because of law changues (abolition of "summer time").
