For yesterday there is a simple checking function "isYesterday".
For getting yesterday you would simply use "subDay(1)";
I said yesterday because I made my experiences yesterday, but I wanted to
obtain the current date.
getDate does not clone.
For cloning only a date part you have to use
copyPart()
Extract from the source code of the class :
/**
* Returns a <b>clone of $this</b>, with the time part set to 00:00:00.
*
* @param string|Zend_Locale $locale OPTIONAL Locale for parsing
input
* @return Zend_Date
*/
public function getDate($locale = null)
{
return $this->copyPart(Zend_Date::DATE_MEDIUM, $locale);
}
And in the copyPart method :
public function copyPart($part, $locale = null)
{
$clone = <b>clone</b> $this;
...
}
I now that, as it is said in the comments, it isn't an exact clone because
of "the time part set to 00:00:00", but it's still an object, partially
cloned.
The return value ($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.
I am sorry, I think I didn't use the corrects words. I don't convert the
object to a string, I wanted to precise that the getDate method use the
copyPart method with the Zend_Date::DATE_MEDIUM specification.
$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
As I said, I didn't convert my objet to a string, my code is the following
:
$today = new Fxc_Date_Public();
$nextDay = $today -> getNextWorkingDate();
public function getNextWorkingDate()
{
$candidate = clone $this; // instead of $this -> getDate() which must
return a partial clone, according to the comments
do
{
$candidate -> addDay(1);
}while($candidate -> isPublic());
return $candidate;
}
The isPublic() method return a boolean.
