`$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-M-d-(D) H:i A", $a);` — Shiplu Mokaddim, Jan 11 '13 at 10:05
Using the term "datetime" is likely to get people confused because that's the name of a mySQL field type. Just say "date and time". Shiplu's answer is the correct one. — Pekka, Jan 11 '13 at 10:08
What *exactly* is not working for you how? What result are you getting? Remember that to show a `DateTime` date, you need to use `format()`. http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php — Pekka, Jan 11 '13 at 10:10

$Date = new DateTime("13-Jan-12-(Sat) 03:30 PM")

should do the trick. if thats not working, look at strtotime.

If it's not working, look at the DateTime createfromformat() method, not revert to strtotime – Mark Baker Jan 11 '13 at 10:06
