Thanks for the detailed information.

For manipulating date in php, u can use the MySQL UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date)
function to return unix timestamp of the date and use the php date functions
like date(), getdate() etc. on it.
This is probably the technique I'll use.

What do you mean by php date?  

I mean "I am a confused newbie and for some reason I think that PHP has 
a date primitive type."  Thanks to you and others, I am now straightened
