I made myself a class make some basic operations, like adding and subtracting days, months or years from a date, and return in mysql-ready format or timestamp. Here`s the code:
[cc lang=”php”]
< ?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
*
* Class dateOperations
* Created in July 07, 2009, by Vicente Russo Neto
*
* @param integer $date – the date to be processed
* @param string $what – what piece of date to process, day, month or year
* @param integer $value – how much will be increased or decreased
* @param string $return_format – ‘mysql’ format or ‘timestamp’ format
* @author Vicente Russo Neto
* @return string|boolean
* @version 0.1
*
* Description: This class can add or subtract days, months or years and return the result. Created for
* PHP Framework CodeIgniter (www.codeigniter.com). Tested on 1.7.1.
*
* Usage:
* $this->load->library(‘dateoperations’);
* echo $this->dateoperations->subtract(‘2009-07-01′,’day’,1); // Prints: 2009-06-30
* echo $this->dateoperations->sum(‘2009-07-01′,’year’,1); // Prints: 2010-07-01
* echo $this->dateoperations->subtract(‘2009-07-01′,’day’,15); // Prints: 2009-06-16

Put the dateOperations.php file on application/libraries folder.
Usage examples:
[cc lang=”php”]
< ?php
$this->load->library(‘dateoperations’);
echo $this->dateoperations->subtract(‘2009-07-01′,’day’,1); // Prints: 2009-06-30
echo $this->dateoperations->sum(‘2009-07-01′,’year’,1); // Prints: 2010-07-01
echo $this->dateoperations->subtract(‘2009-07-01′,’day’,15); // Prints: 2009-06-16
?>
