The method Constantin suggests is a good solution for your problem, but also
have a thorough read of the manual under date functions, there is a lot of
additional useful info there with the use of several of the functions in
unison - for example...
$tomorrow = mktime (0,0,0,date("m") ,date("d")+1,date("Y"));
$lastmonth = mktime (0,0,0,date("m")-1,date("d"), date("Y"));
$nextyear = mktime (0,0,0,date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")+1);
(taken straight from the manual) -
then you will be able to write some handy little functions of your own to do
a lot of these common tasks easily.
A lot of the scripts you write will probably require frequent manipulation
and calculation of date info, expressed as timestamps, user friendly dates,
mysql "datetime" type fields and so on and if you don`t streamline these
jobs sooner rather than later they will drive you nuts.
Time spent now studying the manual and playing with these date functions
will be well spent believe me. Writing a simple calender program is a good
way to get used to the sometimes tricky date issues, leap years, 29th
Feburary, "tomorrow, "next week", "6 months time" etc etc etc.
cheers and good luck, CD
