How can a PHP string be formatted to be of type DateTime for comparison with a DateTime type in a WSDL file?

To format a PHP string to be of type DateTime for comparison with a DateTime type in a WSDL file, you can use the DateTime class to create a DateTime object from the string. This allows you to easily compare the two DateTime objects in your code. By converting the string to a DateTime object, you ensure that both values are in the same format for accurate comparison.

// Example PHP code snippet to format a string to DateTime for comparison
$dateString = '2022-01-01 12:00:00';
$dateTime = new DateTime($dateString);

// Now $dateTime is a DateTime object that can be compared with other DateTime objects
