Auto Calculate Date for beginning and ending upon the amount of days

[phplover]

Hi,

 

Thanks for let me joined this great helpful and informative php forum.

 

I am a php script beginner. I am trying to make a form that calculate the start and end dates in the second and third field in the form as soon as the numbers of day is entered in the first field.

 

For example:

 

1. Number of days = (let say we enter 65)

2. Today's date = (Mar 31, 2009) <-- this field should be auto populated as <?now?> or something.

3. End date = (correctly auto calculated date using field 1 and two)

 

Please help me clearly step by step on how to do it.

 

Thanks.

get the server time, then add the secconds for 65 days and set that for the experation time.

 

$now            = time();

$then = strtotime('+ 65 days');

If you want to display the date after use date()

 

eg.

echo date('d-M-Y H:i:s',time());
