With the PHP strtotime function, its very easy. strtotime produces a unix timestamp based on the string you put in. You can use regular words, or just numbers.

$startdate=10/4/2001;
$duration=6;
$newtime = strtotime("$startdate + $duration months");
echo date('j/m/y', $newtime);

Have a look at date() for more info on outputting the new date.

hi,

well you cud use database help for this...in ORACLE u have ADD_MONTHS function for this purpose...

well if that not permissible, use this...

<?php
$startdate=10/4/2001;
$duration=6;
$nextyear = mktime(0,0,0,date("m")+$duration, date("d"), date("Y"));
//since u need months added
$arrayDate=getdate($nextyear);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($arrayDate)) {
echo "$key => $val\n";
}
?>

u cud pick up respective elements from the array :-)

hope this helps u...

Njoy !!
