Description:
------------
Calling the getDate() method causes an error in the class.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
include 'Date.php';

$values['dob']['d'] = "5";
$values['dob']['m'] = "2";
$values['dob']['Y'] = "1952";

$dateObj = new Date;
$dateObj->setYear($values['dob']['Y']);
$dateObj->setMonth($values['dob']['m']);
$dateObj->setDay($values['dob']['d']);
$dateObj->setHour(12);
$dateObj->setMinute(0);
$dateObj->setSecond(0);
$dateObj->setTZ('UTC');

var_dump($dateObj->getDate(DATE_FORMAT_ISO_BASIC));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
A date in the format "19520205T120000Z" based on the values passed in.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/lib/php/Date.php on line 200

Class version string (from CVS) was:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

the error in the reproduce code is:
$dateObj->setTZ('UTC');

the setTZ() method accepts a Date_TimeZone object, not a string. to set the time zone from a string, use the setTZbyID() method.

will add a paramater check to setTZ in the next cvs update.
