I'm having some problems adding a date.
$test = strtotime('nov 02 2014');
$test_date = date('D, M. jS, Y' ,(1.0*86400) + $test);
echo $test_date;
returns Sun, Nov. 2nd, 2014
changing input to nov 01 and nov 03 return the expected strings.
This should work for you:
$test = "nov 02 2014";
echo $test_date = date('D, M. jS, Y' ,strtotime($test . ' + 1 day'));
Daylight Saving Time ended on November 2, 2014. This means that November 2, 2014 lasted longer than the 86,400 seconds you're adding to the date!
