PHP Datetime Class Create DateTime from custom format
Example
PHP is able to parse a number of date formats. If you want to parse a non-standard format, or if you want your code to explicitly state the format to be used, then you can use the static DateTime::createFromFormat method:
Object oriented style
$format = "Y,m,d";
$time = "2009,2,26";
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $time);
Procedural style
$format = "Y,m,d";
$time = "2009,2,26";
$date = date_create_from_format($format, $time);
