Comment (by nacin):

 If you pass an invalidate date (like month 13), the regular expression
 will be fine but the exception will be thrown.

 There's no need for us to convert all of this to procedural aliases. Just
 the creation. So:

 {{{
 $datetime = date_create( $string );
 if ( ! $datetime )
     return something;
  $datetime->setTimezone( new DateTimeZone('UTC') );
 }}}
