Date() Question - Minus One Day Of The Return Date Choose By User


I have a date function, that gets today's date. Then my user can choose a date for the return date. I need to minus one day of the return date for a date_flag , but having trouble. PHP Code:

<?
$date_book = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$date_return = $_POST['date_return']; //Returns a date like this 2007-05-25

                         // needs to be date_return - 1 day like 2007-05-24
$date_flag  = mktime(date("Y", $date_return), date("m", $date_return), date("d", $date_return)-1);
?>

Date Minus 10 Mins
I am storing Date Time in the mySQL Table in the following format

Y-m-d H:i:s
(This is
2007-19-03 10:56:01)

I want to check if that Date Time is within 10 minutes of NOW
How would I do this?

Its ok if the date time is as is above.
But if now is
2007-19-03 00:03:04
(3 Minutes past midnight)

That means having to then check Date -1

Any pre-built functions for this?

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?

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:

Convert Date To A MySQL Acceptable Date
I've got a date that looks like this: 06/08/2007 AM I'm trying to convert it to a MySQL acceptable date so it can be inserted into the data and read as normal MySQL dates would read so I can use my date searching functions.

I use a lot of -30 days searches and stuff like that.

Convert The Date Separator Before Inserting The Date Into The DB
I need to convert the date separator before inserting the date into the DB. Right now, I have 01/01/2006 and I want 01-01-2006. The dates are coming from a CSV and so are an array element. I've tried strrpos and a few other functions trying to just replace the slashes with hypens and that's not working (I think maybe because it's an array and those functions don't work on arrays?) Could someone post example code for something like this?

I have an array called $items[3] that holds the date with the separator mentioned above. I'm sure there are several ways to do it in both php and with mysql functions but I've been stuck on it for a while and REALLY need to get through this for a project I'm working on right now.
