This is a simple class meant to format dates.

It initializes private variables with the current date and can return that date formatted with specified order for the year, month and day using customizable separator characters.

Details
i wrote this class pretty quickly. so i apologize if its buggy.
with this class you can format the date and have it display anyway you want. 
calling the class returns the default date: "2004-04-13"

myDate(); constructor takes no arguments
returns the default date 2004-04-13

format_date(); takes 3 arguments. the function uses func_get_args();
you can pass the format_date function any date code in any order
format_date("Y","l","F"); returns 2004  Tuesday  April
format_date("l","Y","F"); returns Tuesday 2004 April
format_date("F","Y","l"); returns April 2004 Tuesday
and so on...

format_date( $seperator, [$seperator])
the set_seperator function can take 2 arguments. you must pass the first the second is optional;
if the second argument is not passed it takes the value of the first argument
set_seperator(" @ "," , "); returns 2004@Tuesday,April
set_seperator(" # "," ");  returns Tuesday#2004 April
set_seperator(" | "); returns April|2004|Tuesday
and so on...

get_date(); takes no arguments
simply returns the date;
