I try to set the default date format of CakePHP 3.2 from dd.mm.YYYY
to YYYY-mm-dd
, so I will not have to use $MyDatas->mydate->format('Y-m-d')
, and what is more important in forms while editing data I will have date in format dd.mm.YYYY
(ex- 27.02.2016). I need YYYY-mm-dd
(2016-02-27).
I looked for solutions and none display any changes (in forms or as part of view: $MyDatas->mydate
):
// in AppController
ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'pl_PL');
//and/or
use Cake\Database\Type;
Type::build('datetime')->useLocaleParser()->setLocaleFormat('YYYY-mm-dd');
//and/or
use Cake\I18n\I18n;
I18n::locale('pl_PL');
//and/or
use Cake\I18n\Time;
Time::$defaultLocale = 'pl-PL'; //and or
Time::setToStringFormat('YYYY-mm-dd HH:mm');//and or
Type::build('datetime')->useLocaleParser(false);//and or
None of code above helped. Does anyone have any idea how I can change the date format?
I guess you have been upgrading to CakePHP 3.2, otherwise you'd have seen in your
config/bootstrap.php
file that there are separate types forDATE
,DATETIME
andTIME
type columns.With CakePHP 3.2 the
date
type doesn't mape toCake\I18n\Time
anymore, but to\Cake\I18n\Date
(or\Cake\I18n\FrozenDate
when instructed to use immutable objects), and it needs to be configured separately, which is why changing thedatetime
type, or the\Cake\I18n\Time
class config won't affect yourDATE
columns.To configure formatting for the latter, use the
\Cake\I18n\Date
and/or\Cake\I18n\FrozenDate
class and thedate
type. In your bootstrap, you could do something likeThat would override the defaults that are being applied when using the
pl_PL
locale. Note that you should useyyyy
instead ofYYYY
(as the latter defines the week-numbering year), andMM
instead ofmm
(as the latter defines minutes).See https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/format_parse/datetime/#datetime-format-syntax for the format used by the intl formatter that CakePHP uses internally.
Also note that there's also
\Cake\I18n\Date::$wordFormat
and\Cake\I18n\Date:$niceFormat
which you may want to change too.See also
