    Description

    I miss some functionality like Zend_Date::setDefaultFormat('mm.YY'); or Zend_Date::setOption('defaultOutput', 'mm.YY'); that will change the default output format for __toString() etc application wide for any instanciated Zend_Date.

    Per the documentation (and the code) there's a toString() method, which accepts the date format as it's first parameter: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…

    So this could be easily achieved as:

    
define(MY_DATE_FORMAT, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

echo $date->toString(MY_DATE_FORMAT);
