Creates an `IntlCalendar` object either from a `DateTime` object or from a string from which a `DateTime` object can be built.

The new calendar will represent not only the same instant as the given `DateTime` (subject to precision loss for dates very far into the past or future), but also the same timezone (subject to the caveat that different timezone databases will be used, and therefore the results may differ).

&reftitle.parameters;

`datetime`

- A `DateTime` object or a `string` that can be passed to `DateTime::__construct`.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

The created `IntlCalendar` object or &null; in case of failure. If a `string` is passed, any exception that occurs inside the `DateTime` constructor is propagated.

&reftitle.examples;

### `IntlCalendar::fromDateTime`

    <?php
    ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Lisbon');

    //same as IntlCalendar::fromDateTime(new DateTime(...))
    $cal1 = IntlCalendar::fromDateTime('2013-02-28 00:01:02 Europe/Berlin');

    //Note the timezone is Europe/Berlin, not the default Europe/Lisbon
    echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal1, 'yyyy MMMM d HH:mm:ss VVVV', 'de_DE'), "\n";
