Package:          Date/time related
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:new DateTime('midnighty') is accepted

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.construct
---

Even if it's a misspelling of the documented date format, an additional
character added to the end of 'midnight' (e.g. 'midnighty' or
'midnighta') is accepted by the DateTime constructor. Longer terms (like
'midnightyyyy') are not accepted and throw an Exception like expected.

Test script:
---------------
try {
    new DateTime('midnighty');
    return 'this might never be returned, bug found';
}catch(Exception $e){
    return 'bug fixed';
}
