Do it in your sql query - check out the date manipulation stuff in the
sql manual - it's quite comprehensive and tells you what you need to
know.

I definitely agree to use the MySQL format for your dates. It makes it
easier to use the built in functions. You can convert the timestamp to a
unix style if you have to,
Have a look at
ADDDATE() and SUBDATE()
mysql SELECT DATE_ADD(1997-12-31 23:59:59,
- INTERVAL 1 DAY);
- 1998-01-01 23:59:59
DATE_FORMAT(date,format) will also be very helpful to
use in your queries, allowing you to return your mysql
date in a human friendly format of
7 matches
