It is possible that DateTime::createFromFormat() will be unable to create the DateTime if values thrown into it have different Format other than DateTime.

For example, if any TEXT or STRING is thrown into it as its values, then it will produce error.

Date is separated by '.' or by '-' or by '/'. Time is separated by ':'.

This constitutes basic FORMAT of DateTime.

Use IF condition to check whether NULL Values or TEXT values are given into it which are different from DATETIME FORMAT.

Also, type of variable should be checked. Also, it should be checked, if given variable is an object? Also, Format should be from following : -
