Add days to a date in PHP

Question

Is there any php function available where I can add days to a date to make up another date? For example, I have a date in the following format: 27-December-2011

If I add 7 to the above, it should give: 03-January-2012.

Many thanks

Answer 1

Try this

$add_days = 7;
$date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date) + (24*3600*$add_days));

Answer 2

Look at this simple snippet

$date = date("Y-m-d");// current date

$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +1 day");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +1 week");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +2 week");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +1 month");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +30 days");
