How to get the current date in PHP, and add 1 month to the current date?

Question

I'm coding a script where I require to save the current date, and the date 1 month from that date. I am pretty sure that the time() variable works, but I am not sure how to +1 month onto that?

Any ideas, suggestions. Cheers!

Try this

$today = date("Y-m-d");
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 month', $today));

or use DateTime()

$dt1 = new DateTime();
$today = $dt1->format("Y-m-d");

$dt2 = new DateTime("+1 month");
$date = $dt2->format("Y-m-d");
