I am in the process of creating an Invoice Manager / Diary.
I need to be able to add an entry to a table and choose the reoccurring billing interval from a defined date, i.e 1 week, 1 month, quarterly, 6 monthly or annually.
this just populates all the dates, then i can add them to the db.
Then the user goes to a list each day and it lists the invoices to be sent out on that day.
Anyone fancy creating this function, simply name your price

Does it have to be php?
Sounds pretty simple.

So you have a current date, you want to add a time period and give you another date?
Loads of inbuilt functions to do that.

Messy and rough as hell, no doubt Ian & co could better it (especially for efficiency) -
code:
function GenDateList($initDate, $interval) {
$calculate_years = 5; // Number of years to generate
$return_array = array();
$loopDate = date("d-m-Y", $initDate);
$stopYear = intVal(Date("Y", $initDate)) + $calculate_years;
$loopYear = 0;
$arrayPointer = 0;
while ($loopYear <= $stopYear) {
$return_array[$arrayPointer] = $loopDate;
$loopDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($loopDate." ".$interval));
$loopYear = intVal(date("Y", strtotime($loopDate)));
$arrayPointer++;
}
return $return_array;
}
$rtrn_arr = GenDateList(strtotime("16-03-2012 00:00:00"), "+1 Months");
print_r($rtrn_arr);
