Question

i can not understand how can i persist datetime to database. I have string

    (string) $oXml->currentTime

actually it’s not a string but we convert it, so how can i add it to entity without error

    Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object in...

current code

    $currentTime = \DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:m:s', (string) $oXml->currentTime);
    $cachedUntil = \DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:m:s', (string) $oXml->cachedUntil);

    $oApiKeyInfo
            ->setCurrentTime($currentTime)
            ->setCachedUntil($cachedUntil)

not working 🙁

You need to pass the a DateTime object. Create it with a new statement, you can specify the time to use with the first constructor parameter.

$currentTime = new \DateTime((string) $oXml->currentTime);
$cachedUntil = new \DateTime((string) $oXml->cachedUntil);

$oApiKeyInfo->setCurrentTime($currentTime)
  ->setCachedUntil($cachedUntil);

If you need to specify a Timezone you can use the DateTimeZone class and pass it as the second parameter to the DateTime constructor.
