Date + 10 days.

[Chris_Evans]

Hi there,
Assume for a minute you're given the date of 15th January 2004. I'd like to add 10 days to that. But I need to add 10 days no matter what day of the month it is.

How would I go about doing this? I've tried looking in phpCoin to see how they did it, unfortunately I can't read their code as there aren't any comments.

Thanks,

Chris

[man]strtotime[/man] or [man]mktime[/man]. See the examples there, and note that mktime(0,0,0,2,31,2004) does the right thing and returns a timestamp for March 2.

Brilliant, thanks!

For those that are interested:

mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n"), date("j") + 10, date("Y"));

mktime(hours, minutes, seconds, month, day, year);

Thanks for your help Weedpacket. 🙂

this is the same thing i am trying to do using the following

$daystoadd = $row_courseconn['course_expire'];
$thefinal = date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, date(n), date(j) + $daystoadd , date(Y)));
echo $thefinal;

results in 😮ct-28-2004

i am able to come up with the date that i want, however i am inserting into mysql and need the correct date fomat of :

0000-00-00 00:00:00

can anyone show me how to modify the above to get the correct string?

thanks
