Date formate of Arabic date

Question

I am using this code to get Arabic Date.

    $DateTime          = new DateTime();

    $IntlDateFormatter = new IntlDateFormatter(
    'en_US@calendar=islamic-civil',
    IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM,
    IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM,
    'Europe/London',
    IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL );

echo $IntlDateFormatter->format( $DateTime );

I am getting result Muh. 4, 1445 AH, 4:01:56 PM. But I need date 4 Muharram 1445.

Answer 1

So this should work:

<?php
$DateTime = new DateTime();

$IntlDateFormatter = new IntlDateFormatter(
    'en_US@calendar=islamic-civil',
    IntlDateFormatter::NONE, // No date format, as we'll specify the pattern manually
    IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM, // Use default time format
    'Europe/London',
    IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL
);

// Set the custom pattern for the date
$pattern = "d MMMM y";
$IntlDateFormatter->setPattern($pattern);

echo $IntlDateFormatter->format($DateTime);

the $pattern = "d MMMM y"; is the cause
