Validating date and finding date parts from a date string →
We need to check the user entered date value in any web page before using in our script. For this php built in date function checkdate can be used. This function returns true if the date is a valid date. This function also takes care of leap years and other date restrictions.
Drop down list box for date month selection →
It is easy for a user to select month, date etc from a drop down list box than entering them in a text box. Here the data entered by the user will be under control as from a given options the user has to select one.
2nd and 4th Saturday of the month →
Display 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. For any input month and year display the 2nd and 4th Saturday.
Date Difference →
By using mktime function we can get the difference in day or month or year between two dates.
Date value from string variable →
From a string variable consist of months or days we can use array split command to get the date parts.
The object oriented features are added from PHP 5 onwards. So several date functions can be used but many such objects were supported from PHP5.3 onwards so check your server PHP version to know before using all these features.

There is a time adjustment setting to take care of global time zones, that is inside your PHP.ini file. This setting will display the time by reading the server time and then adding the time zone adjustment. You need to change this setting.

tnxs for the reply smo. i tried the php.ini file and set date.timezone = Asia/Manila but nothing happens and produces wrong 8 hours late results. so ive searched the net and found out that there is a code that you can explicitly set the timezone, this is the code.. date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila'); and after adding this code the date function outputs correct results... I dont know why it doesn't work on the php.ini file. ive done many php.ini setting in the past and this is the first time that i encounter some problems. Any ideas?
