Formatting DateTime object, respecting Locale::getDefault()

by

You can use the Intl extension to format the date. It will format dates/times according to the chosen locale, or you can override that with IntlDateFormatter::setPattern().

A quicky example of using a custom pattern, for your desired output format, might look like.

$dt = new DateTime;

$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('de_DE', IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::SHORT);
$formatter->setPattern('E d.M.yyyy');

echo $formatter->format($dt);

Which outputs the following (for today, at least).

Di. 4.6.2013
