Description:
------------
I have tested this bug on Windows / Linux and PHP versions 5.5 and 7.0. The DateTime::createFromFormat function does not correctly use the ISO 8601 modifier ('c'). Trying to parse an ISO 8601 datetime string using this function results in 'false'.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Create datetime
$date = new \DateTime('now');
var_dump($date); // = DateTime Object

// Convert to string
$fDate = $date->format('c');
var_dump($fDate); // = ISO 8601 string

// Read data to object
$rDate = \DateTime::createFromFormat('c', $fDate);
var_dump($rDate); // = false

Expected result:
----------------
\DateTime::createFromFormat('c', $fDate); should result in a valid DateTime object, with the same contents as the original $date object.

Actual result:
--------------
False, the createFromFormat function cannot parse the string

Hello, this is not a duplicate of 51950, this last one is about decimal fractions, while `c` format does not output decimal and still fails in createFromFormat. Could you re-open please?

Re-opened as this is a new feature request: to add support for the 'c' format, which is not currently one of the supported formats for DateTime::createFromFormat()[1].

I am marking this as "won't fix", because you can instead parse this string by using the DateTime constructor instead. 

If you are still interested in having this feature, please file a new issue at https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/ with a well defined and explained use case.
