Add number of days to a date

Question

This should be

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+30 days"));

strtotime

expects to be given a string containing a US English date format and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC), relative to the timestamp given in now, or the current time if now is not supplied.

while date

Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given integer timestamp or the current time if no timestamp is given.

See the manual pages for

• http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
• http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

and their function signatures.

This one might be good

function addDayswithdate($date,$days){

    $date = strtotime("+".$days." days", strtotime($date));
    return  date("Y-m-d", $date);

}

$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify('+1 week');
print $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

or print date('Y-m-d H:i:s', mktime(date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d") + 7, date("Y"));

$today=date('d-m-Y');
$next_date= date('d-m-Y', strtotime($today. ' + 90 days'));
echo $next_date;

You can add like this as well, if you want the date 5 days from a specific date :

You have a variable with a date like this (gotten from an input or DB or just hard coded):

$today = "2015-06-15"; // Or can put $today = date ("Y-m-d");

$fiveDays = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime ($today ."+5 days"));

echo $fiveDays; // Will output 2015-06-20
