I am unable to find a circumstance whereby a false is returned. Rather the array is always returned with the error_count and errors elements set accordingly.
date_parse
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.3)
date_parse — Returns associative array with detailed info about given date
Description
array date_parse
( string $date
)
Return Values
Returns array with information about the parsed date on success, or FALSE on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
In case the date format has an error, the element 'errors' will contains the error messages.
Examples
Example #1 A date_parse() example
<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>
The above example will output:
Array ( [year] => 2006 [month] => 12 [day] => 12 [hour] => 10 [minute] => 0 [second] => 0 [fraction] => 0.5 [warning_count] => 0 [warnings] => Array() [error_count] => 0 [errors] => Array() [is_localtime] => )

Careful - date_parse is perfectly happy with something like this:
date_parse("2006-2-31");
