[SOLVED] adding 1 to month

[aebstract]

Simple question, how do you take a month.. be it the current month or any month you have stored in a variable and add one month to it to get the next month. Same with previous month. If I have April, I want to be able to get March and May.

Thanks

How are you storing the month? timestamp, text?

Basically, I'm using the current month as the starting point and then can either go up or down a month from there. So I am open to storing it however, it won't be stored in a database or anything.

Ok, have a look at the following and see if it makes sense;

 

<?php
$currentMonth = date("m",time());
echo date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $currentMonth, 0, 0));//prints the current month
echo "<br />";
echo date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, ($currentMonth+1), 0, 0));//prints the next month
echo "<br />";
echo date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, ($currentMonth-1), 0, 0));//prints the previous month
?>

That works, is it hard to roll back the year to 2008 if your current month is jan 09?

I've changed the code for you

 

try this;

 

<?php
$today = getdate();
echo date("F Y");//this month
echo "<br />";
echo date("F Y",strtotime('+1 month'));//next month
echo "<br />";
echo date("F Y",strtotime('-1 month'));//last month
?>
