Subject:

Feature request - return partial dates

Hi Flavio I would like to to consider adding two features: 1) The ability to make the $UNDEF_CHAR specifiable when (eg) $date->ymd is called. This would make it easier to convert dates to (eg) 1970-00-00 for MySQL and 2) The ability to print partial dates, so if you have 1970-10-xx, it will return 1970-10, but if you have xxxx-10-24, it will return 10-24. I realise this is a bit tricker, because 1970-xx-24 doesn't have a meaningful return value... thanks Clint
