having problem printing out "created_at" date

Tried this and I get a error " Call to a member function getTime() on null"

SYSTEMPATH\I18n\Time.php at line 1168

      *
1162      * @return mixed
1163      * @throws Exception
1164      */
1165    public function humanize()
1166    {
1167        $now  = IntlCalendar::fromDateTime(Time::now($this->timezone)->toDateTimeString());
1168        $time = $this->getCalendar()->getTime();

Other alternative for humanize:

Code:

echo $item->created_at; // this should work out , print_r will print it property
        $new = Codeigniter\I18n\Time::parse($item->created_at);
        echo $new->humanize();

Thanks ikesela for the suggestion but I still get the same error as before.

"Call to a member function getTime() on null"

"created_at" is not just a string when is comes out via Ci4.

You can use the TimeDifference class

PHP Code:

$time = $item->created_at; // instance of Time
$difference = $time->difference('9 September 2021', 'UTC'); // will give you a TimeDifference instance between your created_at date and 9 September
echo $difference->humanize(); 


Hi Paul, thanks for the suggestion but I found the issue.

Everybody who specify the "public $appTimezone" make sure it's in camel case. I had it all in lower case and all worked but the Humanization.

Example :
public $appTimezone = 'America/Chicago';

you should post your entity class here. something not right with your code maybe. since i test on my entity class for created_at, it work perfectly.

Thank you, but I just got the "$appTimezone" wrong. All good now.
