I said yesterday because I made my experiences yesterday, but I wanted to
obtain the current date.

Extract from the source code of the class :
/**
* Returns a clone of $this, 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 = clone $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.

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)

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.
