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

### Description

Object oriented style

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 strict.

### 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').Result is : " .datefmt_parse($fmt,"35/13/1971");
if( intl_get_error_code() !=0 ){
echo "Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
echo "Error_code is : ".intl_get_error_code();
}
datefmt_set_lenient($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 "Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
echo "Error_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');
}
$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " .$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
if( intl_get_error_code() !=0 ){
echo "Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
echo "Error_code is : ".intl_get_error_code();
}
$fmt->setLenient(FALSE);
echo "Now lenient of the formatter is : ";
if( $fmt->isLenient() ){
echo('TRUE');
}else{
echo('FALSE');
}
$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " .$fmt->parse("35/13/1971");
if( intl_get_error_code() !=0 ){
echo "Error_msg is : ".intl_get_error_message();
echo "Error_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
