CFormatter

Since 1.1.0
Source Code framework/utils/CFormatter.php
CFormatter provides a set of commonly used data formatting methods.

The formatting methods provided by CFormatter are all named in the form of formatXyz. The behavior of some of them may be configured via the properties of CFormatter. For example, by configuring dateFormat, one may control how formatDate formats the value into a date string.

For convenience, CFormatter also implements the mechanism of calling formatting methods with their shortcuts (called types). In particular, if a formatting method is named formatXyz, then its shortcut method is xyz (case-insensitive). For example, calling $formatter->date($value) is equivalent to calling $formatter->formatDate($value).

Currently, the following types are recognizable:
  • raw: the attribute value will not be changed at all.
  • text: the attribute value will be HTML-encoded when rendering.
  • ntext: the formatNtext method will be called to format the attribute value as a HTML-encoded plain text with newlines converted as the HTML <br /> or <p></p> tags.
  • html: the attribute value will be purified and then returned.
  • date: the formatDate method will be called to format the attribute value as a date.
  • time: the formatTime method will be called to format the attribute value as a time.
  • datetime: the formatDatetime method will be called to format the attribute value as a date with time.
  • boolean: the formatBoolean method will be called to format the attribute value as a boolean display.
  • number: the formatNumber method will be called to format the attribute value as a number display.
  • email: the formatEmail method will be called to format the attribute value as a mailto link.
  • image: the formatImage method will be called to format the attribute value as an image tag where the attribute value is the image URL.
  • url: the formatUrl method will be called to format the attribute value as a hyperlink where the attribute value is the URL.
  • size: the formatSize method will be called to format the attribute value, interpreted as a number of bytes, as a size in human readable form.


By default, CApplication registers CFormatter as an application component whose ID is 'format'. Therefore, one may call Yii::app()->format->boolean(1). You might want to replace this component with CLocalizedFormatter to enable formatting based on the current locale settings.

Property Details

booleanFormat property
public array $booleanFormat;

the text to be displayed when formatting a boolean value. The first element corresponds to the text display for false, the second element for true. Defaults to array('No', 'Yes').

dateFormat property
public string $dateFormat;

the format string to be used to format a date using PHP date() function. Defaults to 'Y/m/d'.

datetimeFormat property
public string $datetimeFormat;

htmlPurifier property read-only

the HTML purifier instance

htmlPurifierOptions property (available since v1.1.13)
public array $htmlPurifierOptions;

the options to be passed to CHtmlPurifier instance used in this class. CHtmlPurifier is used in formatHtml method, so this property could be useful to customize HTML filtering behavior.

They correspond to the number of digits after the decimal point, the character displayed as the decimal point and the thousands separator character.

public array $sizeFormat;

the format used to format size (bytes). Three elements may be specified: "base", "decimals" and "decimalSeparator". They correspond to the base at which a kilobyte is calculated (1000 or 1024 bytes per kilobyte, defaults to 1024), the number of digits after the decimal point (defaults to 2) and the character displayed as the decimal point.
