Subject: [PHP] date maniplations
> Hello,
>
> Sorry if I am confused by the date functions in the manual but I am.
> Here's what I want to do:
>
> I have a string in the form MM/DD/YYYY. I wish to:
> 1) convert it to a date
> 2) add $n days to it
> 3) convert back to a string in the same format above
>
> I believe I can accomplish [2] and [3] with:
>
> $mytdate = date("m/d/Y",mktime(0,0,0,date("m")
> ,date("d")+$n,date("Y")));
>
> How do I accomplish step 1?
> Can I type cast a string to a date?
>
> Thanks,
> Don
