dates

How can I add 7 days to this date ?
$today = date('M-j-Y');
echo $today;

Also trying to do this..

what I am trying to do is if a person cant go into a certain area for 7 days, and trying to figure out how many days he has left before he can get in..

I add the time in the db by using time()

$checkdate = (time() - 604800);//todays date - 7days
and to get the time from db here is the variable:
$enterdate2

If you read the PHP Manual on [man]date/man, you will see that date() accepts a timestamp as an optional parameter. Add the number of days (as time in seconds) to the timestamp you want (e.g. obtained from time() ) when you call date()
