@svycka what's the goal of this PR? I see only a change in the unit test. Can you explain, please? Thanks.

The issue just shows the failure. It is just in form of a PR so that we:

• get the tests to run
• see the actual diff
• can write a fix on top of that

This PR shows this bug: zendframework/zendframework#6406

$validator = new \Zend\Validator\Date(array('locale' => 'en', 'format' => 'Y-m-d'));
$validator->isValid(123); // returns true

As @DASPRiD said this was intentionally desired. But I don't see why. also there was a PR zendframework/zendframework#6865 to fix it not for me to decide it was good or no.

@weierophinney what do you think?

+1
totally agree that an interger time should not validate as a formatted date string. The suggested solution in #6406 to make accepted types configurable sounds OK, but I would consider this a bug from the beginning.
