hi,

i'm trying to format a date with the format_date helper.
according to the docs ( http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/templating_i18n_he lpers) the ShortDatePattern ('d') should give MM/dd/yyyy.
format_date($employee->getBirthDate(), 'd')

but i only get dates with a 2-digit year, like 23/01/07. how do i get the 4-digit year, like this 23/01/2007 ?

thanks in advance
christopher

Which version of Symfony are you using? For me doing:
echo format_date('2007-01-26 01:02:03', 'd');


Outputs 2007-01-26.

i'm using the latest beta, which is 1.0beta4.

echo format_date('2007-01-26 01:02:03', 'd');

returns '26.01.07' to my input field.

i use the format_helper in conjunction with i18n, so my current culture is set to de_CH (german/switzerland), if i switch to en_US i get '1/26/07' as expected but also with only 2-year digits.

thanks.

echo format_date('2007-01-26 01:02:03', 'p', 'de_CH');


Gives me 26.01.2007.

thanks mikenolan, where did you find that 'p' option? is this php specific or a symfony thing?

It's a Symfony thing in sfDateFormat::getPattern().

    switch ($pattern)
    {
      case 'd':
        return $this->formatInfo->ShortDatePattern;
        break;
      case 'D':
        return $this->formatInfo->LongDatePattern;
        break;
      case 'p':
        return $this->formatInfo->MediumDatePattern;
        break;
      case 'P':
        return $this->formatInfo->FullDatePattern;
        break;        
      case 't':
        return $this->formatInfo->ShortTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'T':
        return $this->formatInfo->LongTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'q':
        return $this->formatInfo->MediumTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'Q':
        return $this->formatInfo->FullTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'f':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->LongDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->ShortTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'F':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->LongDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->LongTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'g':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->ShortDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->ShortTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'G':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->ShortDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->LongTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'i':
        return 'yyyy-MM-dd';
        break;
      case 'I':
        return 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 'M':
      case 'm':
        return 'MMMM dd';
        break;
      case 'R':
      case 'r':
        return 'EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 's':
        return 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 'u':
        return 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z';
        break;
      case 'U':
        return 'EEEE dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 'Y':
      case 'y':
        return 'yyyy MMMM';
        break;
      default :
        return $pattern;
    }


The top ones thing use your locale to determine the formatting.

Hi mikenolan:
I see that you've faced some problems with dates and maybe you can help me.

I'm using admin generator and i18n.
My default culture es en_US but I'm working with a user culture=es_AR

In the edit view, dates are shown correctly, with format dd/mm/yyyy but in my list view, they are shown in a strange format.

For example: edit-> 31/12/2008
is shown in list view as-> 2008/12/2031

My generator.yml is
  list:
    title: Listado
    display: [fecha_desde, fecha_hasta]
    actions:
      _create:
    object_actions:
      _edit:
      _delete:
    fields:
      fecha_desde: {params: date_format="p"}
      fecha_hasta: {params: date_format="p"}
        
  edit:
    title: Creación/Modificación
    display: [fecha_desde, fecha_hasta]
    fields:
      fecha_desde: {params: date_format="p"}
      fecha_hasta: {params: date_format="p"}


To set the user culture, I've changed actions.class.php of my module:
class LicenciasActions extends autoLicenciasActions
{

  public function executeList()
  {
  	$this->getUser()->setCulture('es_AR');
  	parent::executeList();
  }	
  
}


Have you had this problem at all?
Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Carolina

I have the exact same problem Carolina. Is there anything on to this yet?
I saw in other post that using yy-MM-dd solves the problem but it doesnt. it just shortens some dates, but generally i keep getting the same weird year/date day: i.e February 2nd 2009 = 2002-02-2009

I've tried every single pattern anything on this?
