    You can just use timestamps time() or date('U') and then add/subtract them. Then format the timestamp for display date( 'formatstr', $timestamp ); To see how to format, see php.net

    timestamps are an integer representation of time in seconds. For php, most applications can use timestamps fine. However, be careful if the dates you need to use will be before 1901 and after 2038.
