Parameters
datetime
A 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, the current timezone will be used.
