You can deal with dates in a number of different ways. If you think hard enough and work hard enough, you can even deal with them correctly.

My approach is to convert evey date that is to be subjected to manipulation to a form that represents a a numerical value expressing time elapsed since some benchmark time in the past.

You, too, can do this. It doesn't much matter whether you read the material pertaing to VB, or to PHP, or to C, or to a non-language entity such as an operating system. Read, understand, adapt, and write.
