function _system_date_formats_build

Builds and returns information about available date formats.

Return value

An associative array of date formats. The top-level keys are the names of the date types that the date formats belong to. The values are in turn associative arrays keyed by format with the following keys:

  • dfid: The date format ID.
  • format: The PHP date format string.
  • type: The machine-readable name of the date type the format belongs to.
  • locales: An array of language codes. This can include both 2 character language codes like 'en and 'fr' and 5 character language codes like 'en-gb' and 'en-us'.
  • locked: A boolean indicating whether or not this date type should be configurable from the user interface.
  • module: The name of the module that defined this format in its hook_date_formats(). An empty string if the format was user-defined.
  • is_new: A boolean indicating whether or not this date type is as of yet unsaved in the database.
