How can I get a date after 15 days/1 month in PHP?

Question

In my PHP code I have a date in my variable "$postedDate".
Now I want to get the date after 7 days, 15 days, one month and 2 months have elapsed.

Which date function should I use?

Output date format should be in US format.

Answer 1

Use strtotime.

$newDate = strtotime('+15 days',$date) 

$newDate will now be 15 days after $date. $date is unix time.

" +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");
