function system_get_date_formats

Gets the list of defined date formats and attributes.

Parameters

$type: (optional) The date type name.

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 the format string, with the following keys:

• dfid: The date format ID.
• format: The format string.
• type: The machine-readable name of the date type.
• 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 date 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.

If $type was defined, only the date formats associated with the given date type are returned, in a single associative array keyed by format string.
