MySQL can do this work for you. ie. select UNIX_TIMESTAMP(column_name) from table ... There are also ways to add intervals and many other things directly in MySQL. However once you have it converted to a unix timestamp doing date-math in PHP is trivial in that you just add the appropriate number of seconds to the timestamp. Lots of info in the MySQL docs on this. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
