IntlCalendar::set — Set a time field or several common fields at once

Description

Object-oriented style

public IntlCalendar::set(int $field, int $value): true

public IntlCalendar::set(
    int $year,
    int $month,
    int $dayOfMonth = NULL,
    int $hour = NULL,
    int $minute = NULL,
    int $second = NULL
): true

Procedural style

intlcal_set(IntlCalendar $cal, int $field, int $value): true

intlcal_set(
    IntlCalendar $cal,
    int $year,
    int $month,
    int $dayOfMonth = NULL,
    int $hour = NULL,
    int $minute = NULL,
    int $second = NULL
): bool

Sets either a specific field to the given value, or sets at once several common fields. The range of values that are accepted depend on whether the calendar is using the lenient mode.

For fields that conflict, the fields that are set later have priority.

This method cannot be called with exactly four arguments.

Parameters

cal: An IntlCalendar instance.
field: One of the IntlCalendar date/time field constants. These are integer values between 0 and IntlCalendar::FIELD_COUNT.
value: The new value of the given field.
year: The new value for IntlCalendar::FIELD_YEAR.
month: The new value for IntlCalendar::FIELD_MONTH. The month sequence is zero-based, i.e., January is represented by 0, February by 1, …, December is 11 and Undecember (if the calendar has it) is 12.
dayOfMonth: The new value for IntlCalendar::FIELD_DAY_OF_MONTH.
hour: The new value for IntlCalendar::FIELD_HOUR_OF_DAY.
minute: The new value for IntlCalendar::FIELD_MINUTE.
second: The new value for IntlCalendar::FIELD_SECOND.

Return Values

Always returns true.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.2.0	The return type is `true` now; previously, it was bool.
8.4.0	This had been deprecated in favor of the methods IntlCalendar::setDate() and IntlCalendar::setDateTime().

Examples

Example #1 IntlCalendar::set()

<?php
ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Lisbon');
ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'pt_PT');

//Calls made later have priority
$cal = new IntlGregorianCalendar(2013, 6 /* July */, 1);
$cal->set(IntlCalendar::FIELD_YEAR, 2012);
$cal->set(IntlCalendar::FIELD_EXTENDED_YEAR, 2011);
var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal));


$cal = new IntlGregorianCalendar(2013, 6 /* July */, 1);
$cal->set(IntlCalendar::FIELD_YEAR, 2012);
$cal->set(IntlCalendar::FIELD_EXTENDED_YEAR, 2011);
//the time has not been recalculated yet. If we clear the extended year,
//the year set before will be used
$cal->clear(IntlCalendar::FIELD_EXTENDED_YEAR);
var_dump(IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal));

The above example will output:

string(20) "01/07/2011, 00:00:00"
string(20) "01/07/2012, 00:00:00"
