$date + 1 year?

Question

I'm trying to get a date that is one year from the date I specify.

My code looks like this:

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+one year', $startDate)); 

It's returning the wrong date. Any ideas why?

Answer 1

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 year')); 

$futureDate is one year from now!

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 year', strtotime($startDate)) ); 

$futureDate is one year from $startDate!
