add new item to CHtml in yii

Question

I work Yii with doctrine 2. I have a problem, datetime in doctrine 2 is an object of DateTime class, and I can't update it with regular methods of CHtml or form.

How can I add new item in CHtml that can handle this situation.

You can extend the CHtml class and add your own functions. The code should look something like this:

class MyHtml extends CHtml {
    // add you own logic or override CHtml functions

    public static function myFunction() {
        return 'yeah!'; 
    }
}

You can then use MyHtml::myFunction() and also use all the standard CHtml functions.
