[SOLVED] PHP - mktime Help

[stormx]

I am having trouble forwarding this into the future by 3 days:

 

date("n/j/Y")

 

I've tried mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")  , date("j")+3, date("Y")); but the output is some random numbers.

 

Is their anyway to get an output of: 11/14/2008

 

Thanks.

<?php


$three = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")/-date("j")+3/-date("Y"));

echo "$three";

?>

 

I tried this but got 1197442800, is their anyway to make it 11/14/2008?

date

 

Put date around mktime with the format following the guidelines on the date page.

 

<?php


$three = date("FORMATHERE", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")/-date("j")+3/-date("Y")));

echo "$three";

?>

 

Should work, just replace the FORMATHERE part with the format you want.

echo date("n/j/Y", strtotime('+3 days'));

I tried this:

 

<?php

$three = date("d/m/y", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")/-date("j")+3/-date("Y")));

echo "$three";

?>

 

But it keeps giving me 12/12/07, what did I do wrong?

Why are you bothing with mktime?

 

 

3 days never changes, therefore, strtotime, or just time()+24*60*60*3 would work just fine and be faster than mktime.
