    In the following code:
    $t = microtime(true);
    $now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $t);
    $now = $now->format("H:i:s.v");

    Trying to format() will return a fatal error if microtime(true) just so happened to return a float with all zeros as decimals. This is because DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $aFloatWithAllZeros) returns false.

    Workaround (the while loop is for testing if the solution works):

    $t = microtime(true);
    $now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $t);
    while (!is_bool($now)) {//for testing solution
        $t = microtime(true);
        $now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $t);
    }
    if (is_bool($now)) {//the problem
        $now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $t);//the solution
    }
    $now = $now->format("H:i:s.v");

    An easiest way to avoid error when microtime returns a non decimal float is to cast its result as a float using sprintf :

    $t = microtime(true);
    $now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', sprintf('%f', $t));
    $now = $now->format("H:i:s.v");
