From manual page:

The timezone parameter is described as "A DateTimeZone object representing the 
desired time zone". This is really ambiguous, since it depends on the user's 
motivation for creating the DateTime object. For instance, I wanted to display a 
UTC date string as a UK date string, so my "desired" timezone was 
"Europe/London". That's not how it works, but because it says "desired", that's 
how it sounds like it works. 

This sounds insignificant really, but I wasted an hour figuring out why it 
wasn't working (date problems are tough because dates are affected by absolutely 
everything in a system!), and I'm sure many other people have encountered the 
same problem.

I suggest the timezone parameter should be described as "A DateTimeZone object 
representing the timezone of the time parameter".

Thanks!





Test script:
---------------
// What someone would do who "desired" to convert a date from UTC to UK time...

$dateTime = new DateTime('2012-05-01 23:00:00UTC', 'Europe/London');
echo $dateTime->format("Y-m-d H:i:s e");
// produces...
// 2012-05-01 23:00:00 UTC

// The actual way to do it...
$dateTime = new DateTime('2012-05-01 23:00:00UTC');
$dateTime->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));
echo $dateTime->format("Y-m-d H:i:s e");
// produces...
// 2012-05-02 00:00:00 Europe/London
