Returns a date after you give it a number of days and a starting date. You can leave the start date blank , and it will give the current date as a start date :).
For example, you can calculate when does a customer have to pay you if he applied for a number of days for your product or service. the function will give you the exact date.

A lot of strings are cut and calculated in order to show a good date, with a 0 in front of a number if the number is smalled than 10.
To call the function you can type:
< ?php $date=date_return("30"); //will show a date 30 days from now
$date=date_return("30","12-03-2001"); //will show a date 30 days from 12-03-2001
? >
If you wish to sate a starting date, you need to make it exactly like this:
day-month-year, separated by a "-".
That's all!
