IntlCalendar::add

Description

Oop

Procedural

Add a signed amount to a field. Adding a positive amount allows advances in time, even if the numeric value of the field decreases (e.g. when working with years in BC dates).

Other fields may need to adjusted – for instance, adding a month to the 31st of January will result in the 28th (or 29th) of February. Contrary to IntlCalendar::roll(), when a value wraps around, more significant fields may change. For instance, adding a day to the 31st of January will result in the 1st of February, not the 1st of January.

Parameters

calendar

Intl-calendar

field

Incfieldparam

value

The signed amount to add to the current field. If the amount is positive, the instant will be moved forward; if it is negative, the instant will be moved into the past. The unit is implicit to the field type. For instance, hours for IntlCalendar::FIELD_HOUR_OF_DAY.

Return Values

Returns true on successFalseforfailure.

Examples

IntlCalendar::add()

<?php
ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'fr_FR');
ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC');

$cal = new IntlGregorianCalendar(2012, 0 /* January */, 31);
echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal), "\n";

$cal->add(IntlCalendar::FIELD_MONTH, 1);
echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal), "\n";

$cal->add(IntlCalendar::FIELD_DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal), "\n";

The above example will output:
