Manipulate date with symfony 1.4

Question

I would like to know if a class exists to manipulate date with symfony 1.4

I search a class like Calandar in Java where you can manipulate date with method like "add" to add x days to a date.

I found sfDatePlugin but it seems to work only symfony 1.2

Do you know a class like this ?

Answer 1

Use the built-in PHP DateTime class and the modify method:

$dt = new DateTime(); //will be now
$dt->modify('+3 days');
$dt->format('m/d/Y'); //takes the same params as date()
