This formats a date and time into the given
strftime() format.
Dates can be passed to Smarty as unix
timestamps,
DateTime objects, mysql timestamps
or any string made up of month day year, parsable by php's
strtotime().
Designers can then use date_format to have complete control of the
formatting of the date. If the date passed to
date_format is empty and a second parameter is passed,
that will be used as the date to format.
| Parameter Position | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | string | No | %b %e, %Y | This is the format for the outputted date. |
| 2 | string | No | n/a | This is the default date if the input is empty. |
Замечание
Since Smarty-2.6.10 numeric values passed to date_format are
always (except for mysql timestamps, see
below) interpreted as a unix timestamp.
Before Smarty-2.6.10 numeric strings that where also parsable by
strtotime() in php (like YYYYMMDD)
where sometimes (depending on the underlying implementation of
strtotime()) interpreted as
date strings and NOT as timestamps.
The only exception are mysql timestamps: They are also numeric
only and 14 characters long (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS),
mysql timestamps have precedence over unix timestamps.
Programmers note
date_format is essentially a wrapper to PHP's
strftime() function.
You may have more or less conversion specifiers available depending
on your system's strftime()
function where PHP was compiled. Check your
system's manpage for a full list of valid specifiers. However, a few of
the specifiers are emulated on Windows. These are: %D, %e, %h, %l, %n,
%r, %R, %t, %T.
Пример 5.8. date_format
<?php
$config['date'] = '%I:%M %p';
$config['time'] = '%H:%M:%S';
$smarty->assign('config', $config);
$smarty->assign('yesterday', strtotime('-1 day'));
?>
This template uses
$smarty.now to get the current time:
{$smarty.now|date_format}
{$smarty.now|date_format:"%D"}
{$smarty.now|date_format:$config.date}
{$yesterday|date_format}
{$yesterday|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}
{$yesterday|date_format:$config.time}
This above will output:
Jan 1, 2022 01/01/22 02:33 pm Dec 31, 2021 Monday, December 1, 2021 14:33:00

%d - day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31)
%D - same as %m/%d/%y
%e - day of the month as a decimal number, a single digit is preceded by a space (range 1 to 31)

%k - Hour (24-hour clock) single digits are preceded by a blank. (range 0 to 23)

%m - month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12)
%M - minute as a decimal number
%n - newline character
%p - either `am' or `pm' according to the given time value, or the corresponding strings for the current locale
%r - time in a.m. and p.m. notation
%R - time in 24 hour notation
%S - second as a decimal number
%t - tab character
%T - current time, equal to %H:%M:%S
%u - weekday as a decimal number [1,7], with 1 representing Monday
