How To Add X Number Of Days To A Date
I have been scratching my head over this one. I want to add a number of days to a date and end up with a date.
The only way I've thought of doing this so far is converting to a time stamp, adding the days (in milliseconds) and then converting back.
I'm sure there must be an easier way!

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?

Get Date Of Today + Number Of Days
I am looking for a function that can return a date based on number of days from today. For example: $today=date("m-d-Y"); $theFutureDate=FutureDate($today,8); If today was 11-01-2007 the function would return 11-09-2007. Is there anything like that built into php? If not does anyone know how to go about it?

Add X Number Of Days To Today's Date
I have been looking through this forum and discovered that the way most people add X number of days to today's date is using this code: echo mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n"), date("j") + 10, date("Y")); When I do this, I get an output similar to this - 1156114800 I am not sure what I can do with this, I am trying to compare it to a date pre-entered into mysql. I also tried using strtotime("+1 day"), with a similar output again.

Calculate The Number Of Days Between A Given Date And The End Of The Month.
I was hoping someone can help me with a date calculation. I'm trying to calculate the number of days between a given date and the end of the month. I have a form with three drop down boxes: month, day and year. A user will submit a date using these drop down boxes. Based on their submission, I need to determine the number of days to the end of the month from the date which was submitted. For example, if the person submits March 15, 2007 and the last day of the month of March is March 31, 2007. The number of days between the 15th and the last day of the month is 17. How do I begin programming this calculation? Since the last day of the month differs from month to month (28th, 30th or 31st) I cannot figure out how to determine the last day of a given month.

Calculating The Number Of Days
I have a bit of a problem calculating the number of days chosen for a report. This is what I wrote: $start = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month1, $day1, $year1); $end = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month2, $day2, $year2); $days = (($end - $start)/(60*60*24)) + 1; where the values for $month1, $day1 etc. are selects in a form. The starting and end dates must be different. This seems to work mostly except for some cases e.g. Jan-01-2006 to May-01-2006 which gives me "120.95833333333 days". Any idea what I am missing?

Calculate Number Of Days Between Two Dates
I have people posting ads and when the ad is posted I have two fields populated at that time: date_created date_expired With the date expired being 7 days after the date created. Both are in this format: 03/12/07 What I am doing is preventing someone from posting more than one ad per 7 days. I'm validating against their email address for that. But I want to display the date that they would be eligible as well as determine if they are eligible to post or not which would require comparing today's date with probably using the now() function against the date_expired in the database. If the today's date is past then no problem. If not, then it would display an error. Code:

How I Could Compare Two Dates To Find The Number Of Days That Seperate Them.
I was wondering how I could compare two dates to find the number of days that seperate them. For instance, after a user signs up to my website, they would see a specific message for only a week. Obviously this is easy if they signed up on the 14th and today is the 16th, but what about if they signed up on the 29th, then I need to figure out for the next month.

Subtracting Days From Date
I have a date format written in Y-m-d and I need to be able to subtract a set number of days and then display the result. I know a lot has been written about this but it has beaten me. // get todays date $mydate = date("Y m d"); // split into individual y,m,d $datearr = split("-",$mydate); // make timestamp $timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$datearr[1],$datearr[2],$datearr[0]); // increment date, you can alter the number of days obviously $newtimestamp = strtotime("-2 days",$timestamp); // change to readable date $mynewdate = strftime("%Y-%m-%d",$newtimestamp); echo $mydate; // outputs 2003 09 30 echo $mynewdate; // outputs 2002-11-28 This code subtracts 2 days which is fine, but then it also subtracts a year and adds two months..
