I am trying to add a certain amount of days to a set date in PHP. However, all of the code I use is not working. Here is the code I am currently experiencing problems with:
echo date("2013-12-01", strtotime("+7 days"));
I wanting to add 7 days to the date above. When I echo out this code, it just prints '2013-12-01'. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
For the sake of completeness, here's how you do it with DateTime():
$datetime = new DateTime("2013-12-01");
$datetime->add(new DateInterval('P7D'));
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d');
or
$datetime = new DateTime("2013-12-01");
$datetime->modify('+7 days');
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d');
It must be like this:
$NewDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("2013-12-01" . " +7 days"));
echo $NewDate;
You can use date_add() function:
$date = date_create('2013-12-01');
date_add($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string('7 days'));
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');
