Can someone show me a simple way to calculate dates? What I'm trying to do is get a future or past date based on today's date. Example, if I want to know what the date is 3 weeks from now.
thanks!

Use PHP's built-in functions such as strtotime in conjunction with date().

Lots of examples to be found in the PHP online manual there.


Code:
echo '3 Weeks from now: '. date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+3 weeks')) ."\n";

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
Excellent, thank you very much!
