If strptime() fails to match all of the format string and therefore an error occurred the function returns NULL.
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.1.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.
strptime() returns an array with the
timestamp
parsed, or false
on error.
Month and weekday names and other language dependent strings respect the
current locale set with setlocale() (LC_TIME
).
timestamp
(string)The string to parse (e.g. returned from strftime()).
format
(string)
The format used in timestamp
(e.g. the same as
used in strftime()). Note that some of the format
options available to strftime() may not have any
effect within strptime(); the exact subset that are
supported will vary based on the operating system and C library in
use.
For more information about the format options, read the strftime() page.
Returns an array o false
in caso di fallimento.

Example #1 strptime() example
<?php
$format = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S';
$strf = strftime($format);
echo "$strf\n";
print_r(strptime($strf, $format));
?>
Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:
03/10/2004 15:54:19 Array ( [tm_sec] => 19 [tm_min] => 54 [tm_hour] => 15 [tm_mday] => 3 [tm_mon] => 9 [tm_year] => 104 [tm_wday] => 0 [tm_yday] => 276 [unparsed] => )
Nota: Questa funzione non è implementata sulle piattaforme Windows.
Nota:
Internally, this function calls the
strptime()
function provided by the system's C library. This function can exhibit noticeably different behaviour across different operating systems. The use of date_parse_from_format(), which does not suffer from these issues, is recommended.
Nota:
"tm_sec"
includes any leap seconds (currently upto 2 a year). For more information on leap seconds, see the » Wikipedia article on leap seconds.
If strptime() fails to match all of the format string and therefore an error occurred the function returns NULL.
Another portage for windows (from ex/yks toolkit)
<?php
// public static
function strptime($date, $format) {
$masks = array(
'%d' => '(?P<d>[0-9]{2})',
'%m' => '(?P<m>[0-9]{2})',
'%Y' => '(?P<Y>[0-9]{4})',
'%H' => '(?P<H>[0-9]{2})',
'%M' => '(?P<M>[0-9]{2})',
'%S' => '(?P<S>[0-9]{2})',
// usw..
);
$rexep = "#".strtr(preg_quote($format), $masks)."#";
if(!preg_match($rexep, $date, $out))
return false;
$ret = array(
"tm_sec" => (int) $out['S'],
"tm_min" => (int) $out['M'],
"tm_hour" => (int) $out['H'],
"tm_mday" => (int) $out['d'],
"tm_mon" => $out['m']?$out['m']-1:0,
"tm_year" => $out['Y'] > 1900 ? $out['Y'] - 1900 : 0,
);
return $ret;
}
?>
emanuil's comment / mktime() example is wrong, in that his mktime() line should have $ts['tm_mon'] + 1 because strptime() returns the months zero-based, while mktime() expects it one-based.
If you need strptime but are restricted to a php version which does not support it (windows or before PHP 5), note that MySQL since Version 4.1.1 offers (almost?) the same functionality with the STR_TO_DATE function.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html
It says "Parse a time/date generated with strftime()" but that's not entirely correct -- While strptime("2006131", "%Y%W%u") works as expected, strptime("2006131", "%G%V%u") returns false instead of reversing the equivalent - and unambiguous - strftime() usage. I suspect that's because glibc doesn't support that. Anyway, this docu page fails to mention that apparently not all format components supported by strftime() can be used with strptime().
the example (or the function) has an inconsistancy with other PHP functions.
the example returns 104 for the year 2004
while in the strftime function the 2 digit year is 70-100 for 1970-2000
and 1-69 for 2001-2069
On some systems, particularly those of BSD lineage (such as FreeBSD and MacOS X), the tm_wday and tm_yday fields are only initialized if requested explicitly (that is, if the %a/%A/%u/%w and %j formats are specified), while others such as Linux and Solaris will calculate them automatically.

Be careful: the output of strptime() ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strptime.php ) cannot always be used with mktime() ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php )!
This is not because of what platform you're using or what format strings glibc supports. This is simply because strptime returns years SINCE 1900 (as documented above) and mktime expects a year in the format returned by date('Y') - which is the full 4 digits.
Therefore, if you parse a date with strptime and want to give it to mktime, you have to pass in ($parsed_time['tm_year'] + 1900) as the year parameter to mktime(), not just $parsed_time['tm_year'].
This issue arose when I had a date like: 19/06/2012 12:03:34. strtotime() doesn't parse this particular format, so I needed custom parsing. So I ended up with:
1. $ts = $service->getNeededDateTime();
2. $ts = strptime($ts, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S');
3. $ts = mktime($ts['tm_hour'], $ts['tm_min'], $ts['tm_sec'],
$ts['tm_mon'], $ts['tm_mday'], ($ts['tm_year'] + 1900));
If you want to parse a date or a /time in windows env, i re-write strptime function for windows.
I use the same param and i return the same think that the original one.
I use sscanf to parde the string.
Only some format can be parsed (%S, %M, %H, %d, %m, %Y)

The result of strptime() is not affected by the current timezone setting, even though strftime() is. Tested in PHP 5.1.6.
<?php
//This turns non-standard but often used "datetime" string
//like '20060810084251' into nice formatted date
//'Thursday, 10 August 2006 08:42:51 CEST'
//note, that strptime returns day of year counting from 0, so
//you need to put 1 as month number to get appropriate
//month for the daycount. for 2006 strptime for unknown
//reason returns 106, so I simply add 1900
$informat = '%Y%m%d%H%M%S';
$outformat = '%A, %d %B %Y %T %Z';
$ftime = strptime("20060810084251",$informat);
$unxTimestamp = mktime(
$ftime['tm_hour'],
$ftime['tm_min'],
$ftime['tm_sec'],
1 ,
$ftime['tm_yday'] + 1,
$ftime['tm_year'] + 1900
);
//setlocale(LC_TIME,'pl_PL');
echo strftime($outformat , $unxTimestamp );

For Windows user! It's rather the same as strptime!
It uses the previous function: but call strToTime($date, $format) to strToDate($date, $format) because this name is forgiven!
<?php
function strToDateTime($date, $format) {
if(!($date = strToDate($date, $format))) return;
$dateTime = array('sec' => 0, 'min' => 0, 'hour' => 0, 'day' => 0, 'mon' => 0, 'year' => 0, 'timestamp' => 0);
foreach($date as $key => $val) {
switch($key) {
case 'd':
case 'j': $dateTime['day'] = intval($val); break;
case 'D': $dateTime['day'] = intval(date('j', $val)); break;
case 'm':
case 'n': $dateTime['mon'] = intval($val); break;
case 'M': $dateTime['mon'] = intval(date('n', $val)); break;
case 'Y': $dateTime['year'] = intval($val); break;
case 'y': $dateTime['year'] = intval($val)+2000; break;
case 'G':
case 'g':
case 'H':
case 'h': $dateTime['hour'] = intval($val); break;
case 'i': $dateTime['min'] = intval($val); break;
case 's': $dateTime['sec'] = intval($val); break;
}
}
$dateTime['timestamp'] = mktime($dateTime['hour'], $dateTime['min'], $dateTime['sec'], $dateTime['mon'], $dateTime['day'], $dateTime['year']);
return $dateTime;
