Fatal error: Call to undefined function date_parse_from_format()

Question

I'm using PHP 5.2 and getting the following error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function date_parse_from_format()

Here is the code:

$startData = date_parse_from_format("Y-m-d\TH:i:s:uO", $when->startTime);

Why am I getting this error?

According to the PHP documentation, date_parse_from_format is available since PHP 5.3 only.
