Description

Would be nice to have Zend_Date::factory() method, that will be identical to __construct(), but will work as static factory method. For example:

$date = new Zend_Date('10/03/2010');
echo $date->get(Zend_Date::MONTH);

Would look much nicer and compact with this:

echo Zend_Date::factory('10/03/2010')->get(Zend_Date::MONTH);

There is no difference to

print new Zend_Date('10/03/2010')->get(Zend_Date::MONTH);

As you can have multiple instances of this object the factory pattern is not necessary.

maybe a parameter to now() would help? for example:

echo Zend_Date::now('10/03/2010')->get(Zend_Date::MONTH);

what do you think?

I would rather prefer the factory method then.
Because, for me, now will return the current Zend_Date, and I won't think that I would pass a param to now() to receive another date.
And also, the factory method could have all the params of Zend_Date constructor.

Like that, we could do

Zend_Date::factory('2010/01/01', 'yyyy/dd/MM', $locale)->get(Zend_Date::MONTH);

etc

My 2 cents,

I still see no reason to add what's already working into a class which will be completly changed in the next release.

Actually it simply works with:

echo Zend_Date::now()>set('2010/01/01', 'yyyy/dd/MM', $locale)>get(Zend_Date::MONTH);

Additionally a date filter is already accepted and will be added with the next minor release which itself simplifies the handling much more.

How exactly I can create an object and get its string value in one command? Could you please give a code example? Thanks.
