Arguments

string a_string

boolean a_strict = false

- If false, then partially matching the date/time string with the pattern returns a Date object with partially filled fields. If true, then Invalid time is returned if the format does not match exactly.

string|Date a_default = new Date(1970, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)

- Default value of timestamp fields

boolean|integer a_timezoneOffset = 0

- Time zone offset from current value ((new Date()).getTimezoneOffset(), if value is false, UTC time is used.
