    [warning_count] => 0
    [warnings] => Array
        (
        )

    [error_count] => 0
    [errors] => Array
        (
        )

    [is_localtime] => 1
    [zone_type] => 1
    [zone] => -60
    [is_dst] => 
)

Not my invention though. I found it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6668223/php-date-parse-from-format-alternative-in-php-5-2
