Yii2 DateTime model validation format issue

Created a model with a dateTime field called 'until', the name is not important just that it is a date time. Here is it's validation in the rules of the model.

['until', 'datetime', 'format' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s'],

Later after I instantiate the model and update the field I get a validation error.

$model->until = '2017-10-15 14:30:04';
$eventRepeat->validate();
$errors = $model->errors;

$errors['until'][0] will then be 'The format of Until is invalid.'

I was not expecting this error.

Solved!

set the format to

php:Y-m-d H:i:s

and used the formatter.

$model->until = Yii::$app
            ->formatter
            ->asDatetime(
                new DateTime('NOW + 2 weeks'),
                'php:Y-m-d H:i:s'
            );

As in Yii2 Doc

format: the date/time format that the value being validated should be in. This can be a date time pattern as described in the ICU manual. Alternatively this can be a string prefixed with php: representing a format that can be recognized by the PHP Datetime class.

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-tutorial-core-validators.html#date

try using 

['until', 'datetime', 'format' => 'php:Y-m-d H:i:s'],
