RE: [PHP] adding days to a given date
You'll want to do something like this: $timeStamp = strtotime(2004-04-29); $timeStamp += 24 * 60 * 60 * 7; // (add 7 days) $newDate = date(Y-m-d, $timeStamp); The 'strtotime' function converts all sorts of standard dates to the Unix Epoch seconds (seconds since 1/1/1970). You then just add the required seconds!

RE: [PHP] adding days to a given date
The time function available in PHP can be used for your requirement/ $two_days_later = date(Y-m-d,mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+2,$year)); where $month, $day and $year are the respective parts of the given day $year=2004 $month=04 $day=29 You can specify the number of days to be +/- in the mktime function, like its specified above. You can also +/- the months and year if necessary. regards Harish -Original Message- From: Merlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 2:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] adding days to a given date Hi there, I am trying to add days to a given day, but somehow I am lost in all the time functions.

Re[2]: [PHP] adding days to a given date
Hello Richard, Wednesday, March 31, 2004, 10:14:39 AM, you wrote: JW strtotime() can do more than that, time to RTFM. RH What else can it do other than convert dates to time strings Jason? I have to agree with Jason on this one - the following code is just reinventing the wheel: $timeStamp = strtotime(2004-04-29); $timeStamp += 24 * 60 * 60 * 7; // (add 7 days) $newDate = date(Y-m-d, $timeStamp); This is a very long winded way of getting the resulting date when you can simply do this: $newDate = strtotme(+7 day, time()); If you want it based on the current time the above will work, or just replace time() with any other valid timestamp you may have. Look at the manual entry for it for lots of other examples. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
