### Time Zones <span id="time-zones"></span>
When formatting date and time values, Yii will convert them to the default [[yii\i18n\Formatter::timeZone|time zone]].
Therefore the input value is assumed to be in UTC unless a time zone is explicitly given. For this reason
it is recommended to store all date and time values in UTC, preferably as a UNIX timestamp, which is always UTC by definition.
If the input value is in a time zone different from UTC, the time zone has to be stated explicitly like in the following example:
When formatting date and time values, Yii will convert them to the target [[yii\i18n\Formatter::timeZone|time zone]].
The value being formatted is assumed to be in UTC, unless a time zone is explicitly given or you have configured
[[yii\i18n\Formatter::defaultTimeZone]].
In the following examples, we assume the target [[yii\i18n\Formatter::timeZone|time zone]] is set as `Europe/Berlin`.
```php
// assuming Yii::$app->timeZone = 'Europe/Berlin';
// formatting a UNIX timestamp as a time
echo Yii::$app->formatter->asTime(1412599260); // 14:41:00
// formatting a datetime string (in UTC) as a time
echo Yii::$app->formatter->asTime('2014-10-06 12:41:00'); // 14:41:00
// formatting a datetime string (in CEST) as a time
echo Yii::$app->formatter->asTime('2014-10-06 14:41:00 CEST'); // 14:41:00
```
Since version 2.0.1 it is also possible to configure the time zone that is assumed for timestamps that do not include a time zone
identifier like the second example in the code above. You can set [[yii\i18n\Formatter::defaultTimeZone]] to the time zone you use for data storage.

Formatting Numbers <span id="numbers"></span>
------------------
## Formatting Numbers <span id="numbers"></span>
For formatting numeric values the formatter class provides the following methods:
The formatter supports the following output formats that are related with numbers:
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asInteger()|integer]] - the value is formatted as an integer e.g. `42`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asDecimal()|decimal]] - the value is formatted as a decimal number considering decimal and thousand
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asInteger()|integer]]: the value is formatted as an integer e.g. `42`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asDecimal()|decimal]]: the value is formatted as a decimal number considering decimal and thousand
separators e.g. `2,542.123` or `2.542,123`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asPercent()|percent]] - the value is formatted as a percent number e.g. `42%`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asScientific()|scientific]] - the value is formatted as a number in scientific format e.g. `4.2E4`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asCurrency()|currency]] - the value is formatted as a currency value e.g. `£420.00`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asPercent()|percent]]: the value is formatted as a percent number e.g. `42%`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asScientific()|scientific]]: the value is formatted as a number in scientific format e.g. `4.2E4`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asCurrency()|currency]]: the value is formatted as a currency value e.g. `£420.00`.
Note that for this function to work properly, the locale needs to include a country part e.g. `en_GB` or `en_US` because language only
would be ambiguous in this case.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asSize()|size]] - the value that is a number of bytes is formatted as a human readable size e.g. `410 kibibytes`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asShortSize()|shortSize]] - is the short version of [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asSize()|size]], e.g. `410 KiB`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asSize()|size]]: the value that is a number of bytes is formatted as a human readable size e.g. `410 kibibytes`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asShortSize()|shortSize]]: is the short version of [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asSize()|size]], e.g. `410 KiB`.
The format for number formatting can be adjusted using the [[yii\i18n\Formatter::decimalSeparator|decimalSeparator]] and
[[yii\i18n\Formatter::thousandSeparator|thousandSeparator]] which are set by default according to the locale.
[[yii\i18n\Formatter::thousandSeparator|thousandSeparator]], both of which take default values according to the
active [[yii\i18n\Formatter::locale|locale]].
For more advanced configuration, [[yii\i18n\Formatter::numberFormatterOptions]] and [[yii\i18n\Formatter::numberFormatterTextOptions]]
can be used to configure the internally used [NumberFormatter class](http://php.net/manual/en/class.numberformatter.php)
For example, to adjust the maximum and minimum value of fraction digits, you can configure [[yii\i18n\Formatter::numberFormatterOptions]] property like the following:

Other formatters <span id="other"></span>
----------------
In addition to date, time and number formatting, Yii provides a set of other useful formatters for different situations:
## Other Formats <span id="other"></span>
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asRaw()|raw]] - the value is outputted as is, this is a pseudo-formatter that has no effect except that
Besides date/time and number formats, Yii also supports other commonly used formats, including
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asRaw()|raw]]: the value is outputted as is, this is a pseudo-formatter that has no effect except that
`null` values will be formatted using [[nullDisplay]].
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asText()|text]] - the value is HTML-encoded.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asText()|text]]: the value is HTML-encoded.
This is the default format used by the [GridView DataColumn](output-data-widgets.md#data-column).
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asNtext()|ntext]] - the value is formatted as an HTML-encoded plain text with newlines converted
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asNtext()|ntext]]: the value is formatted as an HTML-encoded plain text with newlines converted
into line breaks.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asParagraphs()|paragraphs]] - the value is formatted as HTML-encoded text paragraphs wrapped
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asParagraphs()|paragraphs]]: the value is formatted as HTML-encoded text paragraphs wrapped
into `<p>` tags.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asHtml()|html]] - the value is purified using [[HtmlPurifier]] to avoid XSS attacks. You can
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asHtml()|html]]: the value is purified using [[HtmlPurifier]] to avoid XSS attacks. You can
pass additional options such as `['html', ['Attr.AllowedFrameTargets' => ['_blank']]]`.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asEmail()|email]] - the value is formatted as a `mailto`-link.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asImage()|image]] - the value is formatted as an image tag.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asUrl()|url]] - the value is formatted as a hyperlink.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asBoolean()|boolean]] - the value is formatted as a boolean. By default `true` is rendered
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asEmail()|email]]: the value is formatted as a `mailto`-link.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asImage()|image]]: the value is formatted as an image tag.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asUrl()|url]]: the value is formatted as a hyperlink.
- [[yii\i18n\Formatter::asBoolean()|boolean]]: the value is formatted as a boolean. By default `true` is rendered
as `Yes` and `false` as `No`, translated to the current application language. You can adjust this by configuring
the [[yii\i18n\Formatter::booleanFormat]] property.
`null`-values <span id="null-values"></span>
-------------
For values that are `null` in PHP, the formatter class will print a placeholder instead of an empty string which
defaults to `(not set)` translated to the current application language. You can configure the
[[yii\i18n\Formatter::nullDisplay|nullDisplay]] property to set a custom placeholder.
If you do not want special handling for `null` values, you can set [[yii\i18n\Formatter::nullDisplay|nullDisplay]] to `null`.
## Null Values <span id="null-values"></span>
Null values are specially formatted. Instead of displaying an empty string, the formatter will convert it into a
preset string which defaults to `(not set)` translated into the current application language. You can configure the
[[yii\i18n\Formatter::nullDisplay|nullDisplay]] property to customize this string.
## Localizing Data Format <span id="localizing-data-format"></span>
All output of the formatter is localized when the [PHP intl extension](http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php) is installed.
You can configure the [[yii\i18n\Formatter::locale|locale]] property of the formatter for this. If not configured, the
application [[yii\base\Application::language|language]] is used as the locale. See the [section on internationalization](tutorial-i18n.md) for more details.
The Formatter will then choose the correct format for dates and numbers according to the locale including names of month and
weekdays translated to the current language. Date formats are also affected by the [[yii\i18n\Formatter::timeZone|timeZone]]
which will also be taken from the application [[yii\base\Application::timeZone|timeZone]] if not configured explicitly.
For example the date format call will output different results for different locales:
As aforementioned, the formatter may use the currently active [[yii\i18n\Formatter::locale|locale]] to determine how
to format a value that is suitable in the target country/region. For example, the same date value may be formatted
differently for different locales:
```php
Yii::$app->formatter->locale = 'en-US';
echo Yii::$app->formatter->asDate('2014-01-01'); // output: January 1, 2014
Yii::$app->formatter->locale = 'de-DE';
echo Yii::$app->formatter->asDate('2014-01-01'); // output: 1. Januar 2014
Yii::$app->formatter->locale = 'ru-RU';
echo Yii::$app->formatter->asDate('2014-01-01'); // output: 1 января 2014 г.
```
> Note that formatting may differ between different versions of the ICU library compiled with PHP and also based on the fact whether the
> [PHP intl extension](http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php) is installed or not. So to ensure your website works with the same output
> in all environments it is recommended to install the PHP intl extension in all environments and verify that the version of the ICU library
> is the same. See also: [Setting up your PHP environment for internationalization](tutorial-i18n.md#setup-environment).
By default, the currently active [[yii\i18n\Formatter::locale|locale]] is determined by the value of
[[yii\base\Application::language]]. You may override it by setting the [[yii\i18n\Formatter::locale]] property explicitly.
> Note: The Yii formatter relies on the [PHP intl extension](http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php) to support
> localized data formatting. Because different versions of the ICU library compiled with PHP may cause different
> formatting results, it is recommended that you use the same ICU version for all your environments. For more details,
> please refer to [Setting up your PHP environment for internationalization](tutorial-i18n.md#setup-environment).
>
> Note also that even if the intl extension is installed, formatting date and time values for years >=2038 or <=1901
> on 32bit systems will fall back to the PHP implementation, which does not provide localized month and day names,
> because intl uses a 32bit UNIX timestamp internally. On a 64bit system the intl formatter is used in all cases if installed.
> If the intl extension is not installed, the data will not be localized.
>
> Note that for date values that are before year 1901 or after 2038, they will not be localized on 32-bit systems, even
> if the intl extension is installed. This is because in this case ICU is using 32-bit UNIX timestamps to date values.
