### Description

Object-oriented style

Check if the parser is strict or lenient in interpreting inputs that do not match the pattern exactly.

### Parameters

`formatter`

  The formatter resource.

### Return Values

`true` if parser is lenient, `false` if parser is strict. By default the parser is lenient.

### Examples

Example #1 datefmt_is_lenient() example

    <?php$fmt = datefmt_create(    'en_US',    IntlDateFormatter::FULL,    IntlDateFormatter::FULL,    'America/Los_Angeles',    IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,    'dd/mm/yyyy');echo 'lenient of the formatter is : ';if ($fmt->isLenient()) {    echo 'TRUE';} else {    echo 'FALSE';}datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {    echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();    echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();}datefmt_set_lenient($fmt,false);echo 'Now lenient of the formatter is : ';if ($fmt->isLenient()) {    echo 'TRUE';} else {    echo 'FALSE';}datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').Result is : " . datefmt_parse($fmt, '35/13/1971');if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {    echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();    echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();}?>

Example #2 OO example

    <?php$fmt = new IntlDateFormatter(    'en_US',    IntlDateFormatter::FULL,    IntlDateFormatter::FULL,    'America/Los_Angeles',    IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,    "dd/mm/yyyy");echo "lenient of the formatter is : ";if ($fmt->isLenient()) {    echo 'TRUE';} else {    echo 'FALSE';}$fmt->parse('35/13/1971');echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');if (intl_get_error_code() != 0){    echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();    echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();}$fmt->setLenient(FALSE);echo 'Now lenient of the formatter is : ';if ($fmt->isLenient()) {    echo 'TRUE';} else {    echo 'FALSE';}$fmt->parse('35/13/1971');echo "\n Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').\nResult is : " . $fmt->parse('35/13/1971');if (intl_get_error_code() != 0) {    echo "\nError_msg is : " . intl_get_error_message();    echo "\nError_code is : " . intl_get_error_code();}?>

The above example will output:

    lenient of the formatter is : TRUE
    Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
    Result is : -2147483
    Now lenient of the formatter is : FALSE
    Trying to do parse('35/13/1971').
    Result is :
    Error_msg is : Date parsing failed: U_PARSE_ERROR
    Error_code is : 9
