# IntlCalendar::toDateTime

(PHP 5.5.0, PECL >= 3.0.0a2)

IntlCalendar::toDateTime — Convert an IntlCalendar into a DateTime object

### Description

Object oriented style

public DateTime IntlCalendar::toDateTime ( void )

Procedural style

DateTime intlcal_to_date_time ( IntlCalendar `$cal` )

Create a DateTime object that represents the same instant (up to second precision, with a rounding error of less than 1 second) and has an analog timezone to this object (the difference being DateTimeʼs timezone will be backed by PHPʼs timezone while IntlCalendarʼs timezone is backed by ICUʼs).

### Parameters

`cal`

  The IntlCalendar resource.

### Return Values

A DateTime object with the same timezone as this object (though using PHPʼs database instead of ICUʼs) and the same time, except for the smaller precision (second precision instead of millisecond). Returns `FALSE` on failure.

### Examples

Example #1 IntlCalendar::toDateTime()

`<?php
ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC');
ini_set('intl.default_locale', 'pt_PT');
$cal = IntlCalendar::createInstance('Europe/Lisbon'); //current time
$dt = $cal->toDateTime();
print_r($dt);`

The above example will output:

    DateTime Object
    (
        [date] => 2013-07-02 00:29:13
        [timezone_type] => 3
        [timezone] => Europe/Lisbon
    )
