RE: [PHP-DB] Date Subtraction

What's more you can do some neat stuff with manipulating the timestamp to create very quick and accurate calendars. For instance for an application I had to build I had need of highlighting weeks on a calendar to change colors every two weeks, but any given day needed to know which color it should show. Since the increment of the timestamp is so predictible you can use the mod operator and do all kinds of neat stuff. Anyway, just another 2 cents worth. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Manoj Japher [mailto:manojjapher@rediffmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 1:04 PM To: Jeffrey_N_Dyke@Keane.com Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Date Subtraction hi, hey you are bang on target.
