IntlDateFormatter::isLenient -- datefmt_is_lenient — Get the lenient used for the IntlDateFormatter

### Description

Object oriented style

public bool IntlDateFormatter::isLenient ( void )

Procedural style

bool datefmt_is_lenient ( IntlDateFormatter `$fmt` )

Check if the parser is strict or lenient in interpreting inputs that do not match the pattern exactly.

### Parameters

`fmt`

  The formatter resource.

### Return Values

`TRUE` if parser is lenient, `FALSE` if parser is strict. By default the parser is lenient.

### Examples

Example #1 datefmt_is_lenient() example

`<?php
$fmt = datefmt_create(
'en_US',
IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',
IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,
'dd/mm/yyyy'
);
echo 'lenient of the formatter is : ';
if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
echo 'TRUE';
} else {
echo 'FALSE';
}
datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
}
datefmt_set_lenient($fmt,false);
echo 'Now lenient of the formatter is : ';
if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
echo 'TRUE';
} else {
echo 'FALSE';
}
datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
}
?>`

Example #2 OO example

`<?php
$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter(
'en_US',
IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
'America/Los_Angeles',
IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,
"dd/mm/yyyy"
);
echo "lenient of the formatter is : ";
if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
echo 'TRUE';
} else {
echo 'FALSE';
}
$fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0){
echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
}
$fmt->setLenient(FALSE);
echo 'Now lenient of the formatter is : ';
if ($fmt->isLenient()) {
echo 'TRUE';
} else {
echo 'FALSE';
}
$fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');
if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {
echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();
echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    lenient of the formatter is : TRUE
    Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
    Result is : -2147483
    Now lenient of the formatter is : FALSE
    Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
    Result is :
    Error_msg is : Date parsing failed: U_PARSE_ERROR
    Error_code is : 9
