adding one year to date!!

[adrianuk29]

I did not know what forum to put this in. Here is my problem. I am trying to add one year from a date that is outputted from the database. $date is the date taken from my database. Whenever I output this to page all I keep getting is 1970-01-01

<? print date("Y-m-d", strtotime('$date + 1 year'));?>

Any ideas on this.

You cant use $date inside ' ' because then php doesnt return the actual date, just $date. Try it like this:
<? print date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date.' + 1 year'));?>

That's brilliant thank you very much for your help. I have been scratching my head over this one.

Again Thank you.

$theDate = explode("-","1970-01-01");
echo date("d.m.Y",mktime(0, 0, 0, $theDate[1],   $theDate[2],   $theDate[0]+1));
