Format a value using a configured DateTime as date/time source
Returns a reverse matching regular expression of a string generated by format()
Extract date options from a matched value returned by the processing of the reverse matching regular expression
Get an Etc/GMT timezone identifier for the specified timezone
The PHP documentation for timezones states to not use the 'Other' time zones because them exists "for backwards compatibility". However all Etc/GMT time zones are in the tz database 'etcetera' file, which indicates they are not deprecated (neither are old names).
Only GMT, Etc/Universal, Etc/Zulu, Etc/Greenwich, Etc/GMT-0, Etc/GMT+0 and Etc/GMT0 are old names and are linked to Etc/GMT or Etc/UTC.
