将日期从给定日期转换为两天

I'm trying to convert a given date to a date that's two days ahead of the given date. My code is as follows:

$date = date('D, M n', strtotime('+2 days', 'Mon, Dec 31, 2012'));

That code sort of gets it correct. It echoes "Wed, Jan 1". It gets the name of the day and the month correct. But, not the date. I have also tried another route.

$d = new DateTime('Mon, Dec 31, 2012');
$d->modify('+2 days');
echo $d->format('D, M n');

That didn't work either. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lance

n is the format flag for month month. It's saying 1 because it's in January. Use j instead:

$d = new DateTime('Mon, Dec 31, 2012');
$d->modify('+2 days');
echo $d->format('D, M j'); //Wed, Jan 2

$newdate = date("D, M n",strtotime($oldDate. ' + 2 day'));
