In fact, I declared a Fxc_Date_Public object, representing yesterday by:
$today = new Fxc_Date_Public();
For yesterday there is a simple checking function "isYesterday".
For getting yesterday you would simply use "subDay(1)";
Next, I wanted to clone this one in one of its methods, by using the
getDate() method :
getDate does not clone.
For cloning only a date part you have to use
copyPart()
The return value ($candidate) should be a new date formatted with
Zend_Date::DATE_MEDIUM (as it is used in the getDate() method). Moreover,
in
the documentation, we could see :
I dont get the point why you are using object, convert to string, convert to
object and reverse to string.
I think you have a problem in your code. As you have given us only some
lines we can not see where your problem is related.
$this -> get(Zend_Date::YEAR)
I obtained the value 07 although the same operation made on the $today
date
returned the value 2007.
$today is a date object.
As you have converted your string to a date string format MEDIUM you have a
date like this.
20.03.07
Then you converted your date back to a date object.
But how should the function know that you want 07 to be a short year when
you say it's a full year ???
You should eighter keep working with objects and not convert to string.
Or you create your object with the proper format DATE_MEDIUM in this case.
To solve it, I used the operator clone instead of :
$candidate = $this -> getDate();
but I think it would be better if I could obtain the same result (with a
time part set to 00:00:00 so) with the getDate() method.
Just use copyPart(Zend_Date::DATE_MEDIUM) !!!
or any other format you expect to be copied.
