A warning to others. Some keys will return with a default value where others will return as false if the date string has it omitted. Unsure if this is a bug or feature, but hopefully this will save someone some time.
<?php
///Example
$input = "Feb 2010";
$info = date_parse($input);
var_dump($info);
/*Returns:
array(12) {
["year"]=> int(2010)
["month"]=> int(2)
["day"]=> int(1) //<---expected false like below
["hour"]=> bool(false)
["minute"]=> bool(false)
["second"]=> bool(false)
["fraction"]=> bool(false)
["warning_count"]=> int(0)
["warnings"]=> array(0) { }
["error_count"]=> int(0)
["errors"]=> array(0) { }

date_parse
(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)
date_parse — Devuelve un array asociativo con información detallada acerca de una fecha dada
Valores devueltos
Devuelve un array con información sobre la fecha analizada si
tuvo éxito o false en caso de error.
Errores/Excepciones
En caso de que el formato de fecha tenga un error, el elemento 'errors' contendrá los mensajes de error.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 Un ejemplo de date_parse()
<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>El resultado del ejemplo sería:
Array
(
[year] => 2006
[month] => 12
[day] => 12
[hour] => 10
[minute] => 0
[second] => 0
[fraction] => 0.5
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array()
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array()
[is_localtime] =>
)
Los formatos relativos no influyen en los valores de los formatos absolutos, aunque son convertidos en el elemento "relative".
Ejemplo #2 date_parse() con formatos relativos
<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5 +1 week +1 hour"));
?>El resultado del ejemplo sería:
Array
(
[year] => 2006
[month] => 12
[day] => 12
[hour] => 10
[minute] => 0
[second] => 0
[fraction] => 0.5
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array
(
)
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array
(
)
[is_localtime] =>
[relative] => Array
(
[year] => 0
[month] => 0
[day] => 7
[hour] => 1
[minute] => 0
[second] => 0
)

Be aware that date_parse() is happy with just a time zone and it can be pretty counter-intuitive. E.g.:
<?php
var_dump( date_parse('Europe/Madrid') );
?>
... prints an array where year, month, day... are FALSE. But so do these:
<?php
var_dump( date_parse('A') );
var_dump( date_parse('B') );
var_dump( date_parse('X') );
?>
Don't forget to further validate date_parse()'s output even when it isn't FALSE and the 'errors' key is empty.

Here is a workaround for the "Feb 2010" problem. It also handles "2014".

Passing "YYYY-MM" results in a valid date. Be careful to validate that your submitted date passed YOUR requirements.

It's sometimes useful to be able to store incomplete dates, for example when all you know of someone's birthdate is the year or the month and day.
date_parse() handles (and MySQL accepts) dates containing zero-value elements such as "2017-00-00" and "0000-03-29", leaving it up to the parent application to determine when to require and how to handle missing date elements. date_parse() correctly reports zero values for zero-value date elements, reports an 'invalid date' warning, and does not report an error.
Example 1: Year only
<?php print_r( date_parse( '2017-00-00' ) );?>
generates:
<?php
Array
(
[year] => 2017
[month] => 0
[day] => 0
[hour] =>
[minute] =>
[second] =>
[fraction] =>
[warning_count] => 1
[warnings] => Array
(
[11] => The parsed date was invalid
)
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array
(
)
[is_localtime] =>
)
?>
Example 2: Month and day only
<?php print_r( date_parse( '0000-03-29' ) )?>
generates:
<?php
Array
(
[year] => 0
[month] => 3
[day] => 29
[hour] =>
[minute] =>
[second] =>
[fraction] =>
[warning_count] => 1
[warnings] => Array
(
[11] => The parsed date was invalid
)
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array
(
)
[is_localtime] =>
)
?>
However, simply omitting date elements gives PHP too much discretion in second-guessing our intentions:
Example 3: Truncated date:
<?php print_r( date_parse( '2017-03' ) )?>
generates:
<?php
Array
(
[year] => 2017
[month] => 3
[day] => 1
[hour] =>
[minute] =>
[second] =>
[fraction] =>
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array
(
)
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array
(
)
[is_localtime] =>
)?>
In this case, PHP supplies a day value of 1 and does not report a warning.
Similarly, this feature of accepting zero date elements does not carry over to timestamps:
<?php $dDate = strtotime( '2017-03-00' );
print_r( getdate( $dDate ) ); ?>
displays:
<?php Array
(
[seconds] => 0
[minutes] => 0
[hours] => 0
[mday] => 28
[wday] => 2
[mon] => 2
[year] => 2017
[yday] => 58
[weekday] => Tuesday
[month] => February
[0] => 1488268800
)
?>
In this case, PHP interprets the "zeroth" day of March to be the last day of February.

Developers, be aware that using "now" will return an empty array, ex :
<?php
date_parse("now");
?>
Will return :
Array
(
[year] =>
[month] =>
[day] =>
[hour] =>
[minute] =>
[second] =>
[fraction] =>
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array
(
)
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array
(
)
[is_localtime] =>
)

Careful - date_parse is perfectly happy with something like this:
date_parse("2006-2-31");

A warning to some
<?php
$time = "00:14:38"
$parse_date = date_parse($time);
echo var_dump($parse_date) ."<br>";
//here you will get what you expect
$time = "-00:14:38"
$parse_date = date_parse($time);
echo var_dump($parse_date) ."<br>";
//here you will recieve hours minutes and seconds as booleans and as false and you will get error set to "Unexpected character"
$time = "00:-14:38"
$parse_date = date_parse($time);
echo var_dump($parse_date) ."<br>";
//here you will recieve the same as the above
$time = "00:14:-38"
$parse_date = date_parse($time);
echo var_dump($parse_date) ."<br>";
//here you will receive hours as 00 minutes as 14 and seconds as 0. The error will get set as the same as above. Meaning "Unexpected character"

Caution: date_parse expects months 1..12 only.
date_parse("13/1/5769") for month=13, Ehul in Jewish calendar, results in month==3 instead of month==13.
It does, however, report the error array showing "Unexpected Character."
It would be nice if date_parse could handle the months properly (just report back a "13" for the month). The older approach of substr() is my workaround.

<?php
$ida = '091122671325';
$idb = '091123671325';
// This function will match the identity number up to the day, but only for a maximum of 99years+364days.
// Will not work when checking persons older than 100years-1day.
function idtodate($id)
{
$year = date("Y");
$month = date("m");
$day = date("d");
$nc = substr($year, 0, 2);
$ny = substr($year, 2, 2);
$y = substr($id, 0, 2);
$m = substr($id, 2, 2);
$d = substr($id, 4, 2);
if($y.$m.$d <= $ny.$month.$day-1) {
$newc = $nc;
} else {
$newc = $nc-1;
}
$new = $newc.$y;
return array('year' => $new, 'month' => $m, 'day' => $d);
}
echo 'ID: '.$ida.'<br>';
print_r(idtodate($ida));
echo '<br><br>';
echo 'ID: '.$idb.'<br>';
print_r(idtodate($idb));
?>
Output:
1. If the year-month-day is smaller than today (2009-11-23), but bigger than 1999: year => 2009
ID: 091122671325
Array ( [year] => 2009 [month] => 11 [day] => 22 )
2. If the year-month-day is the same as, or bigger than today, but smaller than 2000: year => 1909
ID: 091123671325
Array ( [year] => 1909 [month] => 11 [day] => 23 )
