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..

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?

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.

My problem is that I can not figure out how to sort the query results to display: 1) only past events based on the CURRENT DATE 2) only the events which fall on the CURRENT DATE or after, limiting the results to 5 entries 3) all events that fall on CURRENT DATE or afterwards Example: Today is September 15, 2007 Problem 1) Displaying all events that happened before September 15, 2007 Problem 2) Displaying only 5 results that fall on September 15, 2007 or after Problem 3) Displaying all events that are happening on or after September 15, 2007 And obviously I would like the CURRENT DATE to change depending on what date it is, currently.

Subtracting Time
I realize time() gives me the number of seconds since 1970. I'm fine with that. What's the easiest way to go back say 20 minutes from now? $timerange = time() - 1200; //20 minutes from now printf("Time:", time()); printf("<BR>"); printf("20 mins ago:", $timerange); I think I'm mixing my data types up because the below didn't work. And does the time result come back in an array or can I use it straight up? Is it a string or something else because then I just want to use the result and query with the time I come up with: $q1 = "select * from tablename where starttime > '".$timerange .

The problem is when I go to subtract the offset from UTC strtotime() subtracts the ABSOLUTE VALUE of the offset insteat of the actual value. ie:strtotime(now().'- -4 hours');should give me my current UTC as I am in the eastern time zone of North America and it is daylight savings time.
