CDateTimeParser

Package system.utils
Inheritance class CDateTimeParser
Since 1.0
Source Code framework/utils/CDateTimeParser.php
CDateTimeParser converts a date/time string to a UNIX timestamp according to the specified pattern.

The following pattern characters are recognized: 
Pattern |      Description
----------------------------------------------------
d       | Day of month 1 to 31, no padding
dd      | Day of month 01 to 31, zero leading
M       | Month digit 1 to 12, no padding
MM      | Month digit 01 to 12, zero leading
MMM     | Abbreviation representation of month (available since 1.1.11; locale aware since 1.1.13)
MMMM    | Full name representation (available since 1.1.13; locale aware)
yy      | 2 year digit, e.g., 96, 05
yyyy    | 4 year digit, e.g., 2005
h       | Hour in 0 to 23, no padding
hh      | Hour in 00 to 23, zero leading
H       | Hour in 0 to 23, no padding
HH      | Hour in 00 to 23, zero leading
m       | Minutes in 0 to 59, no padding
mm      | Minutes in 00 to 59, zero leading
s       | Seconds in 0 to 59, no padding
ss      | Seconds in 00 to 59, zero leading
a       | AM or PM, case-insensitive (since version 1.1.5)
?       | matches any character (wildcard) (since version 1.1.11)
----------------------------------------------------
All other characters must appear in the date string at the corresponding positions.

For example, to parse a date string '21/10/2008', use the following: 
$timestamp=CDateTimeParser::parse('21/10/2008','dd/MM/yyyy');


Locale specific patterns such as MMM and MMMM uses CLocale for retrieving needed information.

To format a timestamp to a date string, please use CDateFormatter.

Method Details

parse() method
public static integer parse(string $value, string $pattern='MM/dd/yyyy', array $defaults=array ( ))
$value string the date string to be parsed
$pattern string the pattern that the date string is following
$defaults array the default values for year, month, day, hour, minute and second. The default values will be used in case when the pattern doesn't specify the corresponding fields. For example, if the pattern is 'MM/dd/yyyy' and this parameter is array('minute'=>0, 'second'=>0), then the actual minute and second for the parsing result will take value 0, while the actual hour value will be the current hour obtained by date('H'). This parameter has been available since version 1.1.5.
{return} integer timestamp for the date string. False if parsing fails.

Convert a mysql datetime to timestamp.

This class solved my problem of getting a timestamp from a datetime object in the mysql database. Retrieve the datetime using your model, then do the following.

$timestamp=CDateTimeParser::parse($dateFromDatabase,'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss');
