You may want to look at what various databases will do for you with
date arithmetic.
E.g., You can type this in MySQL:
select date_add('2007-01-31', interval 1 month);
I'm not sure what it will answer, but you can type that. :-)
In Postgresql, it's more like:
select '1/31/2007'::date + '1 month'::interval;
but the point is that somebody else has already solved this most
likely, and you should definitely not try to re-invent the wheel on
this one.

hmmm, a month period has 4*7 days e.g. then i can schedule on 31.3.07
a

period
it same a week has always 7 days. how else would it make sense. the

hi...
i'm creating a quick/dirty app for scheduling a function, based on
the
user
entering a start time/date, as well as a potential periodic
timeframe.
ie:
the user enters-
start time/date: 10:00am 01/10/07
periodic monthly
the idea is to be able to have a process start running on the start
time/date, and then to repeat on a monthly basis on the same
time/date. i
can easily accomplish this for dates that are '1-28', but i'm
looking for
suggestions as to how to handle situations where the number of the
start
date, might be greater than the end date of the 'current month.
in searching google, i haven't come up with many apps that handle
this...
thoughts/comments/etc...
thanks.
