PHP, Get tomorrows date from date

Question

I have a PHP date in the form of 2013-01-22 and I want to get tomorrows date in the same format, so for example 2013-01-23.

How is this pos

Answer 1

First, coming up with correct abstractions is always a key. key to readability, maintainability, and extendability.

Here, quite obvious candidate is an ISO8601DateTime. There are at least two implementations: first one is a parsed datetime from a string, and the second one is tomorrow. Hence, there are two classes that can be used, and their combination results in (almost) desired outcome:

new Tomorrow(new FromISO8601('2013-01-22'));

Both objects are an ISO8601 datetime, so their textual representation is not exactly what you need. So the final stroke is to make them take a date-form:

new Date(
    new Tomorrow(
        new FromISO8601('2013-01-22')
    )
);

Since you need a textual representation, not just an object, you invoke a value() method.
