    This script will do something 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, etc before deadline.
    

// The date format must be YYYY-MM-DD
$date2 = "2008-12-25";//(Deadline date)
$date2_i = strtotime($date2);

$how_many = 5 * 24 * 3600;// 5 days in seconds

$now = time();

if ($now < $date2_i - $how_many) {// if 5 (or more) days before deadline
      // do something here
}
