PHP is a loosely typed language. It however has lots of functions for 
converting dates and such.

I for one find date handling in PHP to be inadequate for my needs so I have 
had to write some of my own date handling functions. Before you go off 
writing your own functions though I would recommend you look into ADODB 
http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB it has some useful date handling routines. 
Also do a search on phpclasses http://www.phpclasses.org/ and you'll find 
lots of date libraries.
