Converting Time Stamp To 'normal' Date Function

Regex Issue - Converting A Written Date To A Timestamp
I have a problem, somehow through one of my scripts, all the timestamps in my database were set to 0000-00-00 00:00:00. I can fix this because one of the fields contains the written date in this format "Wednesday, June 7, 2006", I think I need to make a regex expression that can read that and generate a new timestamp from it,

I'm just not sure where to start because I've barely used regex. Some of the dates are not in that format because it contains over two years worth of data, and I want to just delete the ones that are not in that format as well. I'd appreciate any help here, I'm kind of stumped. Once I match the expression I can generate the timestamp, but I don't know how to match it.

Read Today's Date Print Tomorrow's Date
I've got a small script that writes a random number and the date to a text file. Then the script opens this text file and if date = date from this text file something must happen.
If something happened this script must open this text file again and replace it with a new random number and tomorrow's date.

<?php

$date = date("d-m-Y");
mt_srand((double)microtime()*10000000000);
$num=mt_rand(0, 20);
if ($num == $num && $date == "$tomorrowdate") { echo"$num -- $date";}
else
echo " ";?>

So if the script gets activated on the 05-05-2003 it must write tomorrow's date into the text file (06-05-2003). How will I get tomorrow's date today?

I want to write a script to update a news article posting date. The only way to do this is to break DATE into three separate sections, $year, $month and $day How do I go about doing this?

Please keep in mind, the date is already stored in the database, it does not need to be today's date. It can be any date! Lets work with 2007-11-31 as an example.

Start Date - End Date = Number Of Days
I have a starting date for var 1 and today’s date for var 2. I need to calculate how many days are between those two dates.

02/24/03(today) - 01/14/2002(start date) = number of days.

In theory this is easy but there are many instances were I could get an inaccurate answer. For example one consideration is that some months have 30 days others have 31. exc.

My question is, is there an easier way to solve this problem other than using endless if statments to error handle all possible instances? Does PHP4 have any built in functions that could calculate this formula correctly?

UNIX Mktime To MySQL Date Or Date
A form that sends a starting date and an ending date. I have figured out how to tell the difference between the two and even rip the difference into an array because I need to compare the individual dates against a mySQL database to pull results from a particular date in a series. This is no problem. My problem is that teh mySQL database uses DATE as a field definition and this can not be changed. I managed to pull the date differences using some cleaver mktime stuff but no I do not know how to get this 1072242000 into this 2003-12-24...

Is there a function that reverses the mktime result into a usable date format? I would take anything at this point and I can explode and then array it to get what I want - but there has to be something. Code:
