Adding month into date field

[tawey]

Hai,
I am trying to add month into date field in database.
Like if user enter in textfield txtMonth i.e. 3 then in the database it will change from i.e. 12-1-2003 into 12-4-2003.
But the problem is I cannot Add directly like:

$data["Date"] = $data["Date"] + $txtMonth;

Anyone got an idea???

Thanks!

You can split it up using split() or explode(), then change it from there.

$dateValues = explode("-",$data["Date"]); // Split into an array
$month1 = $dateValues[1]; // Second value in this array (1)
$dateValues = explode("-",$txtMonth);
$month2 = $dateValues[1];
$month = (int)($month1+$month2);
$newDate = $dateValues[0]."-".$month."-".$dateValues[2]; // All the date parts put back together. Month is the only change.

Hope this helps.

why dont you use the date() function instead?
