drupal/core-datetime
====================

This class wraps the PHP DateTime class with more flexible initialization parameters, allowing a date to be created from an existing date object, a timestamp, a string with an unknown format, a string with a known format, or an array of date parts. It also adds an errors array and a \_\_toString() method to the date object.
