Adding 1 month to a date

[matthewralston]

I want to get the date 1 month from now. So if today is 11/11/2002, I want to get 11/12/2002. If today is 30/01/2003 I want to get (I suppose) 02/03/2003...something like that.
In VBScript there is DateAdd(). Is there something similar in PHP?

If you are looking to add an arbitrary number of days to an arbitrary date, run the date string through strtotime() (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php)

to get the Current Unix Epoch timestamp.

Then add 86400 * <number of days to add> to it. Then run that new number through date() (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php).

Thank you. That'll do.

This will add 1 month to the date of today:
$newdate= date(&quot;Ymd&quot;, mktime(0,0,0,date(&quot;m&quot+1,date(&quot;d&quot,date(&quot;Y&quot));
This will add 40 days to the date of today
$newdate= date(&quot;Ymd&quot;, mktime(0,0,0,date(&quot;m&quot,date(&quot;d&quot+40 ,date(&quot;Y&quot));

date(&quot;Ymd&quot will give this 20021125. Select the format you want. Take a look in the PHP-manual.
