php date help

[phporcaffeine]

I need to be able to tell the next day, no matter what the current day is.  I am having trouble when it comes to the ends of the month.

<?php

$day = date("j") + 86400;

echo "Tomorrow is: " . date("m/") . $day . "/" . date("Y");

// this works fine until you encounter the 30th or 31st of a month, how do I account for that?

?>

-TIA

If you look at example 3 it shows you how to do something similar using mktime and date together.

Sorry i can't be of more help than that.

It depends on your timezone, or use gm... to get the GMT!

[code]<?

echo 'Tomorrow is: ' . date ( 'm/d/Y', mktime ( 0, 0, 0, date ( 'n' ), ( date ( 'j' ) + 1 ), date ( 'Y' ) ) );

?>[/code]


me!

why not just do:
[code]
<?php
echo "Tomorrow is: " . date('m/j/Y', strtotime("tomorrow"));
?>
[/code]

If you want to go one day more for the present then you ho that way.
Imagine now you want to go one day more, but not from the present day.

I'm trying somethings but I'm not suceding.. i've this one now: date('20-01-1986',strtotime("tomorrow"));
Do you know what's the problem here to have in the output: 21-01-1982?

keep in mind the arguments that date requires. the first argument is your [b]format[/b] and the second is a [b]UNIX timestamp[/b]. so, strtotime gets that timestamp for you:
[code]
<?php
$date = "1986-01-20";
echo date('m/j/Y', strtotime("$date +1 day"));
?>
[/code]

read up on the [url=http://www.php.net/strtotime]strtotime()[/url] and [url=http://www.php.net/date]date()[/url] pages in the manual to get a better feel for what is and is not readable to them.
