How To Subtract Dates ?
HOW TO SUBTRACT DATES and get result in days. Can anyone suggest me how do I get difference in days when subtracting two dates stored as strings in respective variables. <?php $fromyear=$_GET['fromyear'];$frommonth=$_GET['frommonth'];$fromdays=$_GET['fromdays']; $toyear=$_GET['toyear'];$tomonth=$_GET['tomonth'];$todays=$_GET['todays']; $fromdatetime = $fromyear."-".$frommonth."-".$fromdays;echo $fromdatetime; echo "<br />"; $todatetime = $toyear."-".$tomonth."-".$todays;echo $todatetime; echo "<br />"; $diff=$fromdatetime-$todatetime;echo "Diff = " $diff; echo "<br />"; ?> Everytime I use this script the only difference I get is when year value is changed like if $fromyear is 2007-01-01 & $toyear is 1997 -03-15 I get 10 as result only. Nothing for months & years while I want the result to be 10 years 2 months 14 days.

Subtract Dates
I think I'm overcomplicating things so I thought I'd ask if there is a better way to subtract two dates. Plus, my way is not very accurate. Its a few days off... Both dates come from MySQL in the format "YYYY-MM-DD". $end_date = $row['end_date']; // (2007-10-10) $ts = time(); $start_date = date("Y-m-d", $ts); // (2007-05-28) $end = round(strtotime("$end_date")/84000,5); $exploded = explode(".",$end); $end_date = $exploded[0]; $start_date = round(strtotime("$start_date")/84000,5); $exploded = explode(".",$start_date); $start_date = $exploded[0]; $expiration_in_days = abs($start_date - $end_date);

Convert The Dates To Strings To Subtract Them?
$expirationdate[0] = 4/15/2005 $startdate[0] = 3/1/2005 I would like to determine the number of days between the above dates. My approach: $startdate = strtotime($startdate[0]); // change to a string $expirationdate = strtotime($expirationdate[0]); $delta = $expirationdate - $startdate; // $delta = 1110175200 How do I convert $delta to only number of days? // number of days should equal 45 days Do I need to convert the dates to strings to subtract them?

Dates Of $day In The Next $n Days
how would I go about working out the dates (timestamps) of the day $day (e.g. Monday, Tuesday, &c) in the next $n days. So if $day was Monday and $n 28 I would want to find out the dates in the next 28 days that are a Monday. The problem is that I am not sure about the logic side of the problem.

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.

When To Subtract When I Extract?
I have a table that this board helped me build. However I still need some help. I have over 50 automotive lenders in my table that all have different rates and "discounts". Their is a base_rate, special_discount, equity_discount, luxury_discount, and other_discount. I have a simple form that a user would type in score, term, year model, loan to value percentage(ltv), amount to finance. I can list out all of the available discounts no problem. But what I am trying to do is get a net rate base on the information suppled to me. It might take modifying my table and that is fine with me. Their are 4 possible discounts. 1st is the special_discount. This is to be subtracted always, if it is stored in the record it needs to be subtracted from the base_rate. 2nd is the equity discount. This is to only be subtracted from the base rate if the user typed in a lower ltv than the low_ltv in the record. Also, if they are financing over 25k (luxury discount) some will give .25% off. Any ideas on how this newbie can make it work?

Subtract 100 From Column
What would be the easiest way to this in sql: I need to subtract 100 from column `foo`, but if doing this makes the value of `foo` less than 0, then I need it to add 1 to column `bar`. Is there an IF command that would allow me to do this, or would i have to compare and subtract the values for each row individually?

MySQL Add/subtract Quantities?
Two mySQL Questions: 1.) how to numerically increase or decrease the value of a mySQL column 2.) what is the best column structure (e.g. "varchar" or "char" etc.) for speediest increasing/decreasing Here is the idea: I sell fruit. I start with 100 apples, 100 bananas, and 100 grapes. Visitor purchases 8 apples so now I have 92 of them left. What is the exact mysql query statement that I would use (the following is wrong, but gives idea what I'm trying to do): mysql_query("update fruit_table set quantity_left = 92 where fruit = 'apple'"); Also, what would be the best table structure for the quantity part. Is this the best? CREATE TABLE fruit_table ( fruit tinytext NOT NULL, quantity_left int(3) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL default ༼' );

Find A Way To Subtract Two Times
I have spent the last few hours trying to find a way to subtract two times, none of the information that I find seems relevant to what I am trying to do... A technician is filling out a form, posting the time he logs in and the time he logs out, both of which are being recorded in the database. But prior to the UPDATE, I need to calculate how many hours he was there, e.g. 2.5 hours, then post that also ... then multiply that times his hourly rate and post that also, which ultimately gives the times he was there, how many hours total and how much his time cost against the work, but I think I'm getting off subject... here's my latest failure for code.

Integer Doesnt Subtract Fully

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $subtractMoney = "UPDATE userregistration SET MoneyInHand=MoneyInHand-'$Price' WHERE UserID='{$_SESSION['Current_User']}'"; $result = mysql_query($subtractMoney) or die(mysql_error()); if (mysql_affected_rows() == 0) { die('Error ID 0001A, contact admin on the forums immediately about this error!'); } But the subtraction is only going down by 10. Not 10,800.. although this 10,800 could be any value this was what i used for this example.

Dates In Range Falling Between Existing Dates
The latest quandry I have is that I need to: a: check whether any dates in a date range entered by a client in a form (datefrom, dateto) conflict with any existing date ranges already in the database. -this is a check to see whether the dates that a customer is trying to book are not already booked- Obviously its easy to get the numbers out of the database (i.e. 28/12/2006 or whatever format) and from the form but how to I convert this 'range' actually into a range I can loop through that will return true if any of the dates are the same (i.e. already booked)? b: is similar in that I want to check how many of the clients entered dates fall into the pre assigned high, mid and low season ranges in the database and multiply each of those days by the corresponding price.
