PHP | IntlCalendar setTime() Function

The IntlCalendar::setTime() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to set the calendar time object in terms of milliseconds since the epoch. The calendar time instant is represented by the float and its value should be an integer number of milliseconds since the epoch (1 Jan 1970 00:00:00.000 UTC). It ignores the leap second. Syntax:

• Object oriented style

bool IntlCalendar::setTime( float $date )

• Procedural style

bool intlcal_set_time( IntlCalendar $cal, float $date )

Parameters: This function uses two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

• $cal: This parameter holds the resource of IntlCalendar.
• $date: This parameter holds the instant represented by the number of milliseconds between the instant and the epoch time. It is ignoring leap seconds.

Return Value: This function returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure. Below program illustrates the IntlCalendar::setTime() function in PHP: Program:

<?php

// Set the date timezone
ini_set('date.timezone', 'Asia/Calcutta');

// Create a DateTime object
