	       Unrecognized characters in the format string will cause the parsing to fail and an error message is appended to the returned struc-
	      ture.  You  can query error messages with DateTime::getLastErrors.  If $format does not contain the character ! then portions of the
	      generated time which are not specified in $format will be set to the current system time.  If $format contains the character !, then
	      portions of the generated time not provided in $format, as well as values to the left-hand side of the !, will be set to correspond-
	      ing values from the Unix epoch.  The Unix epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

	      o $time
		- String representing the time.

	      o $timezone
		- A DateTimeZone object representing the desired time zone.  If $timezone is omitted and $time contains no timezone,  the  current
		timezone will be used.

	      Note

		      The $timezone parameter and the current timezone are ignored when the $time parameter either contains a UNIX timestamp (e.g.
		     946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g.  2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a new DateTime instance or FALSE on failure.

";

	      $format = '!d';
	      $date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '15');
	      echo "Format: $format; " . $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Current time: 2010-04-23 10:29:35
	      Format: Y-m-d; 2009-02-15 10:29:35
	      Format: Y-m-d H:i:s; 2009-02-15 15:16:17
	      Format: Y-m-!d H:i:s; 1970-01-15 15:16:17
	      Format: !d; 1970-01-15 00:00:00
