Subject: [PHP-DB] Pulling Date from MySQL then subtract
Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2005 08:37:56 -0600
I am needing some clarification on doing math with dates pulled from MySQL.
The date format in the database is YYY-MM-DD and what I want to do is pull
the date out, then add/subtract 30 days from the date.
I have read through the manual, but for some reason, I'm just not getting
it.
Any help and/or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Jess
