Subject: using zend_parse_parameters to get an object of an externally defined class
From: alon@f4w.nl (alon)

A newbie question:

How can I use zend_parse_parameters to accept object of an external class as 
parametr.

I want for example to build a method that accepts 'DateTime' objects. I know 
that the syntax of zend_parse_parameters is something like:

zval *obj;
zend_class_entry ce;
if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC,
                          "O", &obj, ce, &d) == FAILURE) {
    return;
}

But how do I initiate the zend_class_entry to specify an object of the 
DateTime class?
