Parse french date in php

Question

I have string:

\"Lundi, 08 Juillet 2013 09:09\"

How can I parse this type string?

I try:

    $date = \'08 Juillet 2013 09:0         


        

Answer 1

If your format is fixed, use strptime in combination with French locale:

date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');
$date = '08 Juillet 2013 09:09';
$date = strptime($date, '%d %B %Y %H:%M'); 
var_dump($date);

See strftime for description of format string.
