It's always seemed to me that date_parse_from_format() is more about extracting values from a
date string, not deriving a complete date from a given string. But I don't think there would be
a problem with adding an exception where the entire date is populated if the input string has a
timestamp. At the very least, year=1970 and such is a bit odd.

Description:
------------
Using date_parse_from_format() with a Unix Timestamp yields no error, but does not yields valid
results as well. It sets the date to 1970-1-1, instead of the correct date.
Test script:
---------------
$ php -a
Interactive mode enabled
php > $unix = date('U');
php > echo $unix;
1454336317
php > echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $unix);
2016-02-01 12:18:37
php > print_r(date_parse_from_format('U', $unix));
Array
(
[year] => 1970
[month] => 1
[day] => 1
[hour] => 0
[minute] => 0
[second] => 0
[fraction] => 0
[warning_count] => 0
[warnings] => Array
(
)
[error_count] => 0
[errors] => Array
(
)
[is_localtime] => 1
[zone_type] => 1
[zone] => 0
[is_dst] =>
[relative] => Array
(
[year] => 0
[month] => 0
[day] => 0
[hour] => 0
[minute] => 0
[second] => 1454336317
)
)
Expected result:
----------------
It should fill in the array with "2016-02-01 12:18:37" info.
Actual result:
--------------
The array is filled with "1970-01-01", without error messages.
