[SOLVED] Time/Date formatting question

[CodeMama]

I need to get this to work, it should print out the date two days from now :

           

 <?php 
                       $startday  = mktime( 0,0,0, date("m") , date("d")+2, date("Y"));
                       echo  ("$startday"); 
                        ?>

 

But this is what I get: $startday = 1234947089

 

So am I doing it wrong, as in those results are garbage ??? or am I missing some code to format it?

Thanks in advance

its giving you the unix timestamp now convert that to a date with http://nz.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

<?php 
                       $startday  = date("d-M-Y", mktime( 0,0,0, date("m") , date("d")+2, date("Y")));
                       echo  ("$startday"); 
?>

<?php 
$startday  = mktime( 0,0,0, date("m") , date("d")+2, date("Y"));
echo  date("Y-m-d",$startday); 
?>
