Description: ------------ The class name of "Date" is hard coded in various methods, which makes extending this class difficault. An example of this in the source is here: function getNextDay() { $ret = new Date($this); $ret->addDays(1); return $ret; } Maybe this should be changed to: public function getNextDay() { $class = get_class($this); $ret = new $class($this); $ret->addDays(1); return $ret; } Keep up the good work on this handy class. Thanks Test script: --------------- <?php require_once "Date.php"; class myDate extends Date{ } $date1 = new myDate(); $date2 = $date1->getNextDay(); echo "date1: " . get_class($date1) . "\n"; echo "date2: " . get_class($date2) . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- date1: myDate date2: myDate Actual result: -------------- date1: myDate date2: Date

Unfortunately this is one of those things which would be tricky to fix... it pretty much breaks the API to do it properly. I would encourage you to make use of PHP's DateTime as an alternative where possible.

This is probably a workable solution, without any API knock on effect $ret = clone($this);
