DateTime::__construct — Returns new DateTime object
Like DateTimeImmutable::__construct() but works with DateTime. Consider using the DateTimeImmutable and features instead.
Returns a new DateTime object.
datetimeA date/time string. Valid formats are explained in Date and Time Formats.
Enter "now" here to obtain the current time when using
the $timezone parameter.
timezone
A DateTimeZone object representing the
timezone of $datetime.
If $timezone is omitted or null,
the current timezone will be used.
Note:
The
$timezoneparameter and the current timezone are ignored when the$datetimeparameter either is a UNIX timestamp (e.g.@946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g.2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00).
Returns a new DateTime instance.
If an invalid Date/Time string is passed, DateMalformedStringException is thrown. Previous to PHP 8.3, this was Exception.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.3.0 | Now throws DateMalformedStringException if an invalid string is passed, instead of Exception. |
