Description:
------------
Date::setDate() should be able to parse a datetime without seconds, e.g. "2004-09-26 13:30".

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$date =& new Date('2004-09-26 13:30');
echo $date->year;
?>

This can be fixed by changing the setDate regexp to "/^(\d{4})-?(\d{2})-?(\d{2})([T\s]?(\d{2}):?(\d{2}):?(\d{2})?(\.\d+)?(Z|[\+\-]\d{2}:?\d{2})?)?$/i"

Expected result:
----------------
2004

Actual result:
--------------
0

Hello,

Can you point to a doc which refers to this date time format?
ISO or others?

It's not a standard date. I was only trying to make the regex more versatile based on this comment found directly below it:

// DATE_FORMAT_ISO, ISO_BASIC, ISO_EXTENDED, and TIMESTAMP
// These formats are extremely close to each other. This regex
// is very loose and accepts almost any butchered format you could
// throw at it. e.g. 2003-10-07 19:45:15 and 2003-10071945:15
// are the same thing in the eyes of this regex, even though the
// latter is not a valid ISO 8601 date.

Is there a format argument where you can give it a custom (non-standard) format for the input that I'm missing?
