1. 7 lib/Drupal/Component/Datetime/DateTimePlus.php \Drupal\Component\Datetime\DateTimePlus::createFromFormat()

Creates a date object from an input format.

Parameters

string $format: PHP date() type format for parsing the input. This is recommended to use things like negative years, which php's parser fails on, or any other specialized input with a known format. If provided the date will be created using the createFromFormat() method. @see http://us3.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php

mixed $time: @see __construct()

mixed $timezone: @see __construct()

array $settings:

• validate_format: (optional) Boolean choice to validate the created date using the input format. The format used in createFromFormat() allows slightly different values than format(). Using an input format that works in both functions makes it possible to a validation step to confirm that the date created from a format string exactly matches the input. This option indicates the format can be used for validation. Defaults to TRUE.
