I'm at work, so I'll do an analysis when I get home. But here's some more from Bob, with my version underneath:
Bob's version:
$query = "SELECT MAX( ProcessingDate ) FROM processinglog WHERE ProcessingTypeCode = 'D' ";
$i = 0;
$result = mysql_query( $query );
$entrydate = date('Y' ).'-'.date( 'm' ).'-'.date( 'd' );

$duedate = new DateTime( $entrydate );
$dd = date_format( $duedate, 'd' );
$dm = date_format( $duedate, 'm' );
$dy = date_format( $duedate, 'Y' );
$tstamp = mktime( 0, 0, 0, $dm, $dd, $dy);

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result, MYSQL_NUM ) )
{
$lastdateprocessed = $row[ 0 ];
$duedate = new DateTime( $lastdateprocessed );
$duedate -> modify( '+1 days' );
$dd = date_format( $duedate, 'd' );
$dm = date_format( $duedate, 'm' );
$dy = date_format( $duedate, 'Y' );
$processdate = $dy.'-'.$dm.'-'.$dd;

$i++;
}
if ($i == 0 ){

$duedate = new DateTime( $entrydate );
$duedate -> modify( '-1 days' );
$dd = date_format( $duedate, 'd' );
$dm = date_format( $duedate, 'm' );
$dy = date_format( $duedate, 'Y' );
$processdate = $dy.'-'.$dm.'-'.$dd;
}

// preform daily processing if the last day processed is less than the previous day

// loop for processdate = processdate to yesterday

$duedate = new DateTime( $processdate );
$dd = date_format( $duedate, 'd' );
$dm = date_format( $duedate, 'm' );
$dy = date_format( $duedate, 'Y' );
$pstamp = mktime( 0, 0, 0, $dm, $dd, $dy);
while ( $pstamp < $tstamp )
{
$duedate = new DateTime( $processdate );
$dd = date_format( $duedate, 'd' );
$dm = date_format( $duedate, 'm' );
$dy = date_format( $duedate, 'Y' );
$iday = (int)$dd;
$imonth = (int)$dm;
$iyear = (int)$dy;
$processmonth = 100 * $iyear + $imonth;
// snip another 1500 lines


My version:
$tstamp = time();

$query = "SELECT MAX(`ProcessingDate`) ProcessingDate FROM `processinglog` WHERE `ProcessingTypeCode` = 'D' ";
checkErr($res = $DB->Query($query, __FILE__, __LINE__));
$row = $DB->Fetch($res);

if($row === FALSE)
{
$process = new DateTime();
$process->setTimestamp($tstamp);
$process->modify('-1 days');
} else {
$process = new DateTime($row['ProcessingDate']);
$process->modify('+1 days');
}

$processdate = $process->format('Y-m-d');
$pstamp = $process->getTimestamp();

while($pstamp < $tstamp)
{
$processmonth = $process->format('Ym');


le sigh...

[update]
So I said I'd elaborate, but I'm tired (I just scrubbed my kitchen floor), so here's a rough overview

$entrydate = date('Y' ).'-'.date( 'm' ).'-'.date( 'd' );

$duedate = new DateTime( $entrydate );
$dd = date_format( $duedate, 'd' );
$dm = date_format( $duedate, 'm' );
$dy = date_format( $duedate, 'Y' );
$tstamp = mktime( 0, 0, 0, $dm, $dd, $dy);


You may look at that and think "Ok, that looks reasonable". But all it actually did was
$tstamp = time();


.....and that's it. But no, Bob decided to do it the hard way. Even most bad PHP developers I know would have at LEAST done date('Y-m-d' ). Then he takes it a step further and instantiates a DateTime object and another 3 strings. Slow to the max, especially on the crappy machines my office uses as "servers" (and I don't mean him doing it once slows down the site, that's negligible, but he does it thousands of times accross many thousands of files).

These are getting boring and just turning into brag blog.

I like bob. He seems to represent the common man, not really specialized in anything but doing his best to keep a grasp of the fleeting world around him, accepting the fact that as he gets older, the young people will always stay young. A foot in both realities, but is everything I can hope to be.
Each day gets better : )

I'd like to mention that this Bob is in no way related to me.

Though some of TL's old code looked a lot like the example above. Except the variable names were in Dutch ($dag, $jaar, etc) :p

Not necessarily. But when you can do something BETTER in 1 line than you can in 5, then yes.

More like he figured out how to go right by making 3 lefts.

Somewhat? It's more of a "omfg I actually have to READ this crap all day" blog.

at least they weren't things like
//                         initialize amortized origination fees
$amortizedoriginationfees = 0.00;

What's wrong with that? The redundant comment and the unreadable variable name cancel each other out.

Yes, they cancel each other out and leave me with
                               =              0.00;

which isn't very helpful!
