working with dates

[netfrugal]

I'm playing around with dates, and I trying to add 20 days to today's date.

echo date('d') + 20;

Of course, if the day was the 1st of April, then the result would be '21'. But when the day is later in the month, it doesn't rollover to the next month's day. Rather it adds to the number.

If $var = '2007-04-24' , and I want to add 14 days to $var, how do I get it to state:
'2007-05-08' ?

Do I make sense?

echo (date('Y-m-d', strototime('+20 days'));

Thanks, that was very helpful!

<?
echo (date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+14 days')));
?>

For that matter, I see you can change 'days' to 'months' or 'years' and it calculates the date accordingly.

Does this appropriate for leap years too? weird question, I know.

Yes, it covers the whole Gregorian calendar. It does Daylight Saving, too (when "1 day" != "24 hours") assuming the locale is correct.
