 Changes/Modifications
 6/24/08 - Version 0.9.2 released.  Minor additions
             - Added "S" support. (th, rd, st, nd.  example: 5th)
             - Added a few more abbreviations for units of time in calculate()  (s.  sec. secs. min. mins. m.  and more)
             - Added example.php (php examples and usage) and date_time_formats.html (list of supported date/time formats) to the package.
 6/25/08 - Version 0.9.3 released.  Bug fixes
             - Fixed month subtraction (wrap to previous year) bug
             - Fixed month and year "$only_return_the_value=true" bug.  If you calculated by months or years, and set
               $only_return_the_value=true, it would overwrite the values instead of just returning them.
             - Fixed the "D" (Sun, Mon, Tue) bug.  If you supplied "D" and "d" in the same mask, it would not return the correct output.
             - Changed the names of public variables "day", "month", and "year" added "s" at the end for consistency purposes
 11/14/08 - Version 0.9.4 released.  Bug fix
             - Got rid of the _one_dig_num function and used ltrim($num "0") instead
