Description:
------------
Passing an RFC 822 or RFC 2822 formatted DateTime string into the DateTime() constructor works, but it's not documented at https://www.php.net/manual/datetime.formats.compound.php

However, there are constants for both, and they are mentioned at https://www.php.net/manual/class.datetime.php

Test script:
---------------
// RFC 822:
new DateTime('Mon, 15 Aug 05 15:52:01 +0000');

// RFC 2822:
new DateTime('Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:52:01 +0000');

Because those formats don't need any special handling. They're just regular date strings. Notice how the other RFCs aren't mentioned either?

Well, OK, but when a page starts with "This page describes the different compound date/time formats that the [...] parser understands.", I'd expect that this is a *complete* list of everything the parser understands.

So you could at least add a note like "Plus all RFC formats mentioned at https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php "

That's basically what I was thinking too.
