[SOLVED] Trying To Use Time Function To Return Next Month

[refiking]

I am using a calendar script that uses the current time to show the current month's calendar.  What I am trying to do is get the next month's calendar to be returned.  I've tried to use the mktime function, but am at a loss so far.  What do I need to do?  Here's what I have so far.

 

$time = time();
$nmonth = time("+1 Month");

Use the strtotime() function like this:

 

$time = time();
$nmonth = strtotime($time." +1 Month");

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

If you do it that way, you have the potential to end up with a month 13, which it will probably understand as 1 plus one year, but maybe not. Your best bet is to use strtotime.

You don't even need the time() function like in your code...just strtotime().  It implicitly uses 'now' as the default timestamp:

 

<?php
$nextmonth = strtotime('+1 month');
?>

Yes, however, if you wanted to change the $time variable to something other than the current time, the $nextmonth var would be one more month from $time, making it a little more flexible.

In that case, you pass the timestamp in as the second parameter, don't concatenate it to the strtotime() string.

OK.  I used Darkwater's code to get the future months.  I have 6 months of calendars on the page.  Everything worked great up until January.  It showed Jan 2009.  Any suggestions?

[DarkWater]

I was under the impression that after 2008 came 2009.

It does. Complete operator error.  The calendar has two seperate $nmonth variables.  The first (which I overlooked) is for the Header Line and the second one is for the actual calendar.  Switched it and now works perfectly.  Thanks again!
