Date() to time() transformation

[nicuz]

I am trying calculate a date that occurs in the future. The date is stored in my database in date(""Y-m-d") format. I am not sure if I can make calculations with this format, so my question is how can I transform a date from date() format to time() format?

[php.net...]

True, that is one option. Since it is in a database table you may also want to consider using your databases Date and Time functions to do the date manipulation before it is returned to you.
