Zend_Date

Question

Zend Framework

Can someone explain to me why this code produces the following result?

$d = new Zend_Date('2013-02-05 00:00:00', 'Ymd H:i:s');
print($d->get(Zend_Date::DATE_FULL));

Result:
Saturday, January 5, 2013

Answer 1

Probably because Zend's format differs from the standard PHP date/DateTime. m is minutes, not month.
const MINUTE = 'mm';
const MINUTE_SHORT = 'm';
const MONTH = 'MM';
const MONTH_SHORT = 'M';

Answer 2

No need to use ZD
Regular php tools are enough for all tasks
ZD is one of the most asshole components in ZF

Answer 4

offtopic Zend_Date works very(!) slowly, if there is a better way to get rid of it.
