Ah nice approach to avoid the infinite loop, but I got a better one: https://github.com/beberlei/Whitewashing/blob/master/DateTime/DateTime.php
Feel free to take this code, its new-bsd. btw, I proposed an Immutable DateTime objects patch to the Internals list 1-2 month ago that was rejected for it adding a $immutable = true/false flag only instead of fixing the underyling problem. Fixing the underlying problem is too huge a task for my non-existant C skills though :-) greetings, Benjamin On Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:08:13 +0100, Tobias Schlitt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I had a quick chat with Derick during PHP Benelux about this patch.
