I think all of we have developed some time a Date handler functions :) Here is mine if you want to ripe some code (doc is only in spanish but code and function names are in english). It's only for dates but support iso/english/euro dates input/output, months and days in both spanish/english (extendable), use timestamp as internal and provide the following functions: - check_date: Valida una fecha usando la funcion checkdate de php - convertdate: Convierte fechas entre los formatos iso, euro y eng - today: retorna fecha de hoy en formato $DATEFORMAT - monthplus: Retorna la fecha introducida + $num meses - dayplus: Retorna la fecha introducida + $num dias - monthlastday: Retorna la fecha del ultimo dia del mes de una fecha dada - monthfirstday: Retorna la fecha del primer dia del mes de una fecha dada - getdaynameof: Retorna el nombre completo del dia de una fecha en un idioma dado - getmonthnameof: Retorna el nombre completo del mes de una fecha en un idioma dado - getdayof: Retorna el dia de una fecha - getmonthof: Retorna el mes de una fecha - getyearof: Retorna el año de una fecha - comparedates: Compara dos fechas - count_days Url: http://vulcanonet.com/soft/dates/ If you are interested in it and don't understand something please let me know.
