If those come from MySQL, use MySQL's date_add function. Or something like
that...
http://mysql.org/
If they are just from some raw text file... I'm betting that somebody has
done the subtraction and formatting part for PHP dates, so you just need to
use http://php.net/substr and http://php.net/mktime
Check the code archives linked from http://php.net/links.php for date
algorithms.
