Date('YmHis'): 2-3 Days Behind
When I echo date('YmHis') the timestamp I get is 2-3 days behind. It's coming up with September 10th, and it's the 13th. Anyone know what the deal with this is? Will it always be that far behind?

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?

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!

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..

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.

Days Of Week
I'm attempting to display information for today, the next day and the day after (so only three days worth). The first day is hardcoded to say now. I want the next day and the day after to be the abbreviated day (ie. Tue, Wed and so on). The problem I have with the following code is that now and the next day are the same. Thus, I have now (which is Tue), the next day (which is ALSO Tues - wrong!) and the day after is Wed. Here's the include: $return['mydata'] = array(); for($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) { $attr = explode('"', $this->tag('blm:mydata',$i)); if(count($attr) > 1) { $day = array(); $day['when'] = $attr[1]; $day['image'] = IMAGES.$this->translate($attr[11]).'.gif' array_push($return['mydata'], $day); } } return $return; And here's the front-end page: echo " ".$stuff['mydata'][0]['when']."<br/>
