       This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types.
       It can be used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime
       object and produce a string representing it in the MySQL format.

       This class offers the following methods.  All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's
       time zone to the floating time zone, because MySQL does not provide time zone information.

       •   parse_datetime($string)

       •   parse_date($string)

       •   parse_timestamp($string)

           Given  a  value  of  the appropriate type, this method will return a new "DateTime" object.  The time
           zone for this object will always be the floating  time  zone,  because  by  MySQL  stores  the  local
           datetime, not UTC.

           If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.

       •   format_date($datetime)

       •   format_time($datetime)

       •   format_datetime($datetime)

           Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately formatted string.
