It also would be nice if this function could ignore extra input after
the parsing and/or return where it stopped.

Description:
------------
The manual for DateTime::createFromFormat says:
Format accepted by date().
If format does not contain the character ! then portions of the
date/time value specified in format but not specified in time will be
set to the current system time.
However if you specify format like "d-m-Y H:i" and provide datetime
string that does not contain time, parsing would fail - even though the
manual says if time string does not contain parts from format it should
use current system.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("d-m-Y H:i", "25-10-2007");
var_dump($date);
Expected result:
----------------
Something like:
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(19) "2007-10-25 18:58:31"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(19) "America/Los_Angeles"
}
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
