So you won't need to do ackward things like: Date_Calc::nextDay($date->getDay(), $date->getMonth(), $date->getYear()); But probably the most cool feature will be change Date_Calc methods to accept a date in whatever format. Date_Calc::setInput('iso'); // via GLOBALS like PEAR::setErrorHandling $a = Date_Calc::nextDay('2001/07/24'); $a = Date_Calc::toTimestamp($a); //or also Date_Calc::setOuput() Just an idea, Tomas V.V.Cox PD.- It could be nice if the Date_Calc could return the textual name of days and months in many languages.
