WP_Community_Events::format_event_data_time( array $response_body ): array

Since
4.8.0
Source
wp-admin/includes/class-wp-community-events.php:383
Adds formatted date and time items for each event in an API response.

Description

This has to be called after the data is pulled from the cache, because the cached events are shared by all users. If it was called before storing the cache, then all users would see the events in the localized data/time of the user who triggered the cache refresh, rather than their own.

Compatibility

Deprecated in WordPress 5.5.2. No longer used in core.

The response which contains the events.

Return value

array
The response with dates and times formatted.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Community_Events::format_event_data_time() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Heavy

Reads stored settings via get_option(), cached per request but not free on a cold cache.

Scaling
Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.

Instructions
8–12

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 160.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

Further down the call graph this can also reach query and transient. Those are the worst case, several calls deep and usually down an error path, not what a normal call pays.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Community_Events::format_event_data_time() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 160 instructions, 8–12 executed per call, 7 branches. The work does not change between versions.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.

  • date_i18n()Retrieves the date in localized format, based on a sum of Unix timestamp and timezone offset in seconds.
  • __()Retrieves the translation of $text.
  • get_option()Retrieves an option value based on an option name.
  • _x()Retrieves translated string with gettext context.
  • wp_maybe_decline_date()Determines if the date should be declined.
