### Description
The following code:
```php
<?php
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '22-11-11');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
```
Resulted in this output:
```
0022-11-11
```
But I expected this output instead:
```
false
```
this is one of those inconsistencies that are a head-scratcher. If there is not enough provided
information to match the format, why does DateTime simply pad with 0's instead of providing
correct validation feedback? It does so if I were to use the pattern 'Y-m-d H', rather
than provide 00 for the missing hours.
### PHP Version
