Does anyone know how to use strtotime to give me a variable date + 1 year?
I know how to do it using todays date like this:

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

but I want to use a date that was entered in a form instead of todays date. I tried the following but it did not work.

$date = "2008-06-16";
$newdate = $date("Y-m-d",strtotime('+1 year'));
echo $newdate ;

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

bit counter intuitive...

$date = "2008-06-16";
$newdate = $date("Y-m-d",strtotime('+1 year', strtotime($date)));
echo $newdate ;

Thanks jpadie,

I had to alter it to the following to get it to work but now it is working.

$date = "2008-06-16";
$newdate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime('+1 year', strtotime($date)));
echo $newdate ;

Excellent!!

ah yes. i just copied and pasted your code above and fixed the right hand side without checking the left. function names cannot begin with a $ unless you are referencing a variable function.
