Use of DATE_UNIX, DATE_STAMP, etc

Hi

I have a case that I need to test using Today's date, or in fact the MONTH Today.

Looking at the Module Code, I discovered that in addition to documented Testing Cases, the Module will also test against DATE_UNIX_and DATE_STAMP, which is useful but not what I was looking for, so I made some changes to the code to enable the additional cases of:

DATE_MONTH
DATE_WEEKDAY
DATE_YEAR

Additional code was added at line 183:

  'DATE_WEEKDAY => Current date in Full Weekday format (' . $this->dateFormatter->format($this->dateTime->getRequestTime()) . ')',
      'DATE_MONTH => Current date in Full Month format (' . $this->dateFormatter->format($this->dateTime->getRequestTime()) . ')',
      'DATE_YEAR => Current date in (yyyy) Year format (' . $this->dateFormatter->format($this->dateTime->getRequestTime()) . ')',

and then at line 317:

    // If we find a DATE_WEEKDAY date stamp replacement, replace that.
    if (strpos($equalto, 'DATE_WEEKDAY') !== FALSE) {
      $equalto = str_replace('DATE_WEEKDAY', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $equalto);
      $equalto = date('l',$equalto);
    }
    if (strpos($then, 'DATE_WEEKDAY') !== FALSE) {
      $then = str_replace('DATE_WEEKDAY', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $then);
      $then = date('l',$then);
    }
    if (strpos($or, 'DATE_WEEKDAY') !== FALSE) {
      $or = str_replace('DATE_WEEKDAY', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $or);
      $or = date('l',$or);
    }
    
    // If we find a DATE_MONTH date stamp replacement, replace that.
    if (strpos($equalto, 'DATE_MONTH') !== FALSE) {
      $equalto = str_replace('DATE_MONTH', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $equalto);
      $equalto = date('F',$equalto);
    }
    if (strpos($then, 'DATE_MONTH') !== FALSE) {
      $then = str_replace('DATE_MONTH', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $then);
      $then = date('F',$then);      
    }
    if (strpos($or, 'DATE_MONTH') !== FALSE) {
      $or = str_replace('DATE_MONTH', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $or);
      $or = date('F',$or);
    }
 
    // If we find a DATE_YEAR date stamp replacement, replace that.
    if (strpos($equalto, 'DATE_YEAR') !== FALSE) {
      $equalto = str_replace('DATE_YEAR', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $equalto);
       $equalto = date('Y',$equalto);
    }
    if (strpos($then, 'DATE_YEAR') !== FALSE) {
      $then = str_replace('DATE_YEAR', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $then);
      $then = date('Y',$then);
    }
    if (strpos($or, 'DATE_YEAR') !== FALSE) {
      $or = str_replace('DATE_YEAR', $this->dateTime->getRequestTime(), $or);
      $or = date('Y',$or);
    }  
 

This now allows me to test a date field that is formatted as a MONTH, WEEKDAY or YEAR, against today's date as a MONTH, or as the WEEKDAY, or full yyyy YEAR.

I believe that it would be a useful addition to the Module. It certainly sorted out my problem.
