How to find next friday date and previous Friday's Date given a date?

[trend]

I have a program that will give me a random date.. example: 5/1/2006 or 2/3/2003.. or whatever.. and I need to find the previous and next's friday's Date.

 

I guess the big problem is month endings.. 29days, 30days.. 31days??

 

I am afraid all I know how to do right now is split(date,"/") to give me the day, month, year values..

 

Where do I go from here?

 

thanks!

Actually.. The date I am given should be on a friday... SO I just need to find out what the next friday's date is (here again problem is dealing with different month lengths)

If you use the built in DateTime class you could just add / subtract 7 from the given date.
