Add time period to date
In the table  the actual servers date is shown(first part of the table), and bellow we have add diferent intervals of times to actual date. The new date has been saved to a variable named Mydate and  date, year, month, monthname, day, and weekday corresponding to Mydate has been shown in each line .

This kind of code may be useful to display the correct date corresponding to a country or region when the server is located in a different country (for example, the server is located in US, and the visitors are from Spain)
