It works, it is indeed a workaround to convert the date to a timestamp with
strtotime and construct a date from that. I have only the following 2
concerns
- I was expecting Zend_Date to do this for me, so is my expectation wrong
than this is a solution, if not it's a workaround
- This will not work with dates outside the range of the timestamp (> year
2039 according to
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php#function.strtotime.notes)
