The MongoDate class

INTRODUCTION
	Represent date objects for the database. This class should be used to save dates to the database and to query for dates. For example:

       Example #1

	      Storing dates with MongoDate

	      <?php

	      // save a date to the database
	      $collection->save(array("ts" => new MongoDate()));

	      $start = new MongoDate(strtotime("2010-01-15 00:00:00"));
	      $end = new MongoDate(strtotime("2010-01-30 00:00:00"));

	      // find dates between 1/15/2010 and 1/30/2010
	      $collection->find(array("ts" => array('$gt' => $start, '$lte' => $end)));

	      ?>

	MongoDB  stores  dates as milliseconds past the epoch. This means that dates do not contain timezone information. Timezones must be stored
       in a separate field if needed. Second, this means that any precision beyond milliseconds will be lost when the document is sent to/from the
       database.
