A quickie: Calculating dates from a date in the database?

[djfox]

I`m using this format of dates:

$entry_date = strftime("%B\ %e\,\ %Y %H:%M:%S", time());

 

And that time gets saved into the database (birth in ownedpets database):

 

$res = mysql_query("SELECT id, owner, pet_type, pet_name, birth, food, play, datetime FROM ownedpets WHERE id=$id");
$rows = mysql_fetch_row($res);
mysql_free_result($res);

 

So let`s say in this case, the database birth value ($rows[4]) is October 19 2007 20:00:00. What do I do to tell php to check to see if the current date (hours and all don`t matter) is 21 days after the $rows[4]?

 

Why I`m looking for this task:

For the pets system, if the pet is 21 days after it`s birth, it will be an adult. But if it is not 21 days after it`s birth, it will still be a baby.

Change to:

 

$entry_date = time();

 

Then, read this on how to decode it into specific dates:
