date_create_immutable — create a new DateTimeImmutable object

function date_create_immutable(string $datetime = "now", ?DateTimeZone $timezone = null): DateTimeImmutable|false

This is the procedural version of DateTimeImmutable::__construct().

Unlike the DateTimeImmutable constructor, it will return false instead of an exception if the passed in datetime string is invalid.

Returns a new DateTimeImmutable instance or false on failure
