Class "IntlDateFormatter" not found -php 8.2

[gtbu]

Under php 8.2 , a click at the revision-history-button gives

Class "IntlDateFormatter" not found - in ....\thirdparty\time\strftime.php on line: 61 (54) -

• You can for this use the strftime.php-version from https://gist.github.com/bohwaz/42fc223031e2b2dd2585aab159a20f30

and add behind the first line

namespace PHP81_BC;

use DateTime;
use DateTimeZone;
use DateTimeInterface;
use Exception;
use IntlDateFormatter;
use IntlGregorianCalendar;
use InvalidArgumentException;

You should ensure that php-intl is installed. Run php -m and look for Intl

[gtbu]

Yes - but intl is nowadays a standard - except under Xampp, where You sholud activate intl and zip in the php.ini

[TheWitness]

The INTL library can not handle common sprintf like:

strftime("The rain in Spain falls on the %M'th day of %Y\n");

Why I say they messed up.

• The new strftime rewrites the old function strftime with intl-functions so that the old syntax functions with php8.x

In PHP 8.1 and later versions, you can use the DateTimeImmutable class to achieve similar functionality as the strftime() function.

• DateTimeZone can be used for the timezone

*The strftime function was used to format local time or date according to locale settings, but it has been replaced by the DateTimeInterface::format method. The DateTimeInterface::format method is more powerful and flexible than strftime, and it allows for more customization and control over the formatting of dates and times.

*An alternative is the IntlDateFormatter::format method instead.

• or
  $date = new DateTimeImmutable('now');
  echo $date->format('%B %d, %Y'); // Outputs "March 24, 2024"
