I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm not a good judge concerning readability.
In case you prefer keeping the "with or without" and switching the examples around, then,
for consistency the "g and h" and "G and H" should by switched as well (to
"h and g" and "H and G" to be precise).
Let me know your thoughts. I'd be happy to supply a new patch.

This makes it read really weirdly, so I would say "Won't Fix" - if at all, change the
examples around.

The following patch has been added/updated:
Patch Name: createfromformat.patch
Revision: 1582575060
URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=79304&patch=createfromformat.patch&revision=1582575060

Description:
------------
Reference https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php
Please notice where X and Y are present in each column in the following table:
+---------------------+------------------------------+-----------------+
| format | description | example |
+---------------------+------------------------------+-----------------+
| X and Y | ... with (X) or without (Y) | 01 to 31 (X) or |
| (alphabetical sort) | leading zeros ... | 1 to 31 (Y) |
+---------------------+------------------------------+-----------------+
This style works for "d and j", "D and l", "m and n".
The time variants "g and h" and "G and H" do not follow this style.
This can be fixed by replacing "with or without" to "without or with" in the
"description" column for these formats. So, suggested to rewrite as:
+--------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------+
| format | description | example |
+--------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------+
| g and h | ... without or with ... | 01 thought 12 or 01 through 12 |
| G and H | ... without or with ... | 0 thought 23 or 00 through 23 |
+--------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------+
Another option could be to explicitly mention the format in the description, thus like "...
without (G) or with (H) ...".
