The DateTime formatter converts between human-readable dates and PHP 5.2's DateTime object.

Default formatString is 'r', example: "Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200". IMPORTANT! Please be aware that some date formats are not reversible! that is, they can be shown human-readable, but not reversed into a valid time.

IMPORTANT! WFDateTimeFormatter expects a DateTime object. However, oftentimes the formatter is used in conjunction with widgets that normally work with strings, and this the "value" will often be a multi-value string binding. Therefore often when using WFDateTimeFormatter you should use the 'Formatter' binding option rather than the formatter property of the widget. If you are getting BLANK values for your timestamps, and an WFException in the log, this is probably the problem.
