Date Help

[adamboalt]

I need to write a function that writes to additional variables from today's date in this format: mm-dd-yy

Variable 1: Current Date
Variable 2: First Report Date (the 15th of the following month)
Variable 3: Last Report Date (5 months after the First Report Date)

Example: If the Order Date is February 4th, the First Report Date would be March 15th and the Last Order Date would be August 15th.

Thanks for your help in advance.

The date functions in PHP are very user friendly....search php.net for date. Once you get yopur user entered date into at php timestamp you can simply,

$date_14=$date+14;

$date_30=$date+30;

PHP will do the rest for you....

This will give me 15 days after the first date but not on the following month.

If that works im surpised.
try

echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime(+10 days"));

that should work just change 10 to anything.

$first_next_month = date ("Y-m-d", mktime (0,0,0,date("m")+1, 15, date("Y")));

echo "Next month on the 15th: ".$first_next_month."<P>\n";

$five_next_month = date ("Y-m-d", mktime (0,0,0,date("m")+5, 15, date("Y")));

echo "5 months later: ".$five_next_month."<P>\n";
