[SOLVED] date() increment by 7 days?

[Sydcomebak]

How do I represent the date() function and increment by 7 days?  1 month?  1 year?

 

$dateRange = sprintf(', CompanyStart = "%s", CompanyEnd = "%s"', date("Y-m-d"), date("Y-m-d")+7);

From the manual:

 

 

$plussevendays = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+7,  date("Y"));

$plusonemonth = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")+1, date("d"),  date("Y"));

$plussoneyear = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"),  date("Y")+1);

date("+7 days +1 month +1 year");

 

 

RTM.

oops...I'm sorry

date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+7 days 1 month 1 year"));

[ratcateme]

use strtotime with date:

date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day"));
date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 month"));
date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 year"));

first of all you need to get a current timestamp (which is in seconds) and add the number of seconds to the current timestamp that are in 7 days

 

<?php

$nowtime = time();

$startDate = date("Y-m-d", $nowtime);
$endDate = date("Y-m-d", ($nowtime + (60 * 60 * 24 * 7));

$dateRange = sprinttf(', CompanyStart = "%s", CompanyEnd = "%s"', $startDate, $endDate);

?>

 

That should make your end date 1 week (7 Days) more than the current time.

This works great for using dates, but what about time?

 

My hosts server is 2 hours ahead of my time zone.  I want to be able to use my PC's time to insert into my form.  I checked both date() and time() but can't find a way to accomplish this.

[Zergman]

nvm, figured it out

 

$myplace = date("h:i a", time() - 7200);

Thanks everybody!  It worked perfectly!  I'm new to PHP, so having you guys around is really amazing.

Something weird happened today.  Had this in my page

 

$date = date ('Y-m-d');
$backmonth = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 month"));

 

Was working yesterday, now these variables give me this

2008-07-31 
2008-07-01

 

Im guessing its my server thats causing this .... not sure where they are located actually but can anybody explain whats going on?

[Zergman]

Tried doing this

$date = date ('Y-m-d');
$backmonth = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-2 month"));

 

Gives me this

2008-07-31 
2008-05-31

 

This isn't making sense.  Why does -1 month return 30 days which lies within the same current month, but -2 works fine?

I know my server time is 2hrs ahead of me btw
