SVGGraph options: datetime_key_format

« Return to previous page

Option name:
datetime_key_format
Default value:
NULL
Added in version:
2.23.1
Data type:
string [?]

The datatypes used in this documentation for specifying SVGGraph options are described below. All options can be a literal value of the data type described, a variable containing the data type, or an expression that will produce the data type when evaluated (and they must always be valid PHP expressions).

array
An array, the number and data types of its members will depend on the option for which is it used.
boolean
A boolean TRUE or FALSE value, or any values that convert easily such as 1, "1", 0 and "".
callback
A callable function, which can be either the name of a function or an anonymous function itself.
colour
Any of the colour values supported by SVG inside a single or double quoted string. These include three and six digit hex codes, RGB and RGBA colours, and colour names. SVG uses "none" for no colour, which generally leaves things transparent.
fill
A colour value or one of the gradients and patterns supported by SVGGraph. See the SVGGraph colours page for details.
integer
A negative or positive whole number or 0.
measurement
An integer or float value, or a string containing a number followed by one of these CSS units: px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc.
number
Any number supported by PHP, for example 1 or -3.2 or 1.63e5 or M_PI.
string
Single or double quoted strings. Remember to double-quote your strings if you are inserting a line break:
"Line 1\nLine 2".

global datetime

This option specifies the date/time format of the data keys, used when the datetime_keys option is enabled. The default value of NULL means that no specific format is in use.

The format should be a string containing the format characters described in the PHP DateTime::createFromFormat documentation:

$settings['datetime_key_format'] = 'm.d.Y';

This example sets the format to read a date only with the month first, then the day of the month, then the year, with the fields separated by full stop characters.

If PHP fails to convert the date using the provided format SVGGraph will try again using the default format before giving up.
