[SOLVED] advice on adding x days to a date?

[wmguk]

Hey guys,

 

The discount field holds the amount of weeks that the discount applies for.

 

I'm going to create a script and what I need to is:

 

get today's date.

check field 'discount' (will be 3 or 4 or something like that)

add the result to todays date and then run an update script to input the date to my database in date field 'discdate'

 

I can get todays date, and i can do the update but I have googled and I cant seem to get a definate answer, how can i add 4 weeks to the date?

<?php
//2008-05-29
$today = date('Y-m-d');
//4 weeks
$discount = '4';
//add
$discdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("$today +$discount weeks"));
echo $discdate;
//2008-06-26
?>
