3 years from a certain date

[jeff5656]

I can determine 3 years from today, but How do determineo 3 years from march 1st?

 

So I want to echo out "3/1/2013"?

 

Thanks!

date('m/d/Y', strtotime('3/1/2010 +3 years'));

Well the problem with that is that it assumes the current year is 2010.  This wouldn't work next year right? (because it assumes 3/1/2010)

So you want 3 years from the current year? 

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('March 1 + 3 years'));

Use what simshaum showed or this is easier if you always want 3 years from 3/1/current_year:

'3/1/'.(date('Y')+3);

I was assuming that you had the start date in a variable or something and wanted to do a calculation.
