[$php_mysql$]

how do i add 30 days from current date?

 

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date); displays

 

Thu, 18 August, 2011

 

now with a new variable how do i display a date 30 days from Thu, 18 August, 2011 which would be September something?

 

i tried

 

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date);

 

$newdate2 = date("D, j F,  Y", time() + $date);

 

but it display Mon, 26 February, 1917

try

<?php
echo 'Now:       '. date('Y-m-d') ."\n";
echo 'in 30 days: '. date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+30 days')) ."<br>";
// Or
echo 'in 30 days: '. date('Y-m-d', time() + 2592000) ."<br>";
?>

 

my output was:

 

Now: 2011-08-18

in 30 days: 2011-09-17

in 30 days: 2011-09-17

oh one issue, i want ti compare the date with $newdate which comes from database

 

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date); //compare this

 

$addtiondate = date("D, j F,  Y", strtotime('+30 days')); // to this

 

how can that be done here?

[voip03]

<?

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date); //compare this 

 

$addtiondate = date("D, j F,  Y", strtotime('+30 days')); // to this

 

if(strtotime($addtiondate) > strtotime($newdate)){

    // bla bla

}

?>

[$php_mysql$]

<?

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date); //compare this 

 

$addtiondate = date("D, j F,  Y", strtotime('+30 days')); // to this

 

if(strtotime($addtiondate) > strtotime($newdate)){

    // bla bla

}

?>

i did this

 

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date); //compare this   
$addtiondate = date("D, j F,  Y", strtotime('+30 days')); // to this
$addition = strtotime($addtiondate) > strtotime($newdate); 

echo $addition ;

any one?

Why are you doing multiple conversions on both values to compare dates? If your dates are stored in your database as either a mysql DATE, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP data type, you can do greater-than/less-than comparisons directly on the values, as someone explained in one of your previous threads, provided both values being compared are in the same format.

 

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by comparing dates?

[TeNDoLLA]

Not sure what you trying to achieve with this line

$addition = strtotime($addtiondate) > strtotime($newdate); 

 

but $addition variable will have a boolean value based on the condition. In this case it will be "true" since the $additiondate is greater than $newdate.

[$php_mysql$]

no this time is not stored in mysql DATETIME format,  stored the time using time() so the some without conversion shows something like 1234567 etc,

 

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", $date); //this line converts the time to Thu, 18 August, 2011 format

 

so what im trying is getting 30 days from $newdate  which  prints the result as Thu, 18 August, 2011 and i want Sat, 17 September, 2011

 

 

[TeNDoLLA]

$newdate = date("D, j F,  Y", strtotime('+30 days', $date));
echo $newdate;

 

... assuming $date is a timestamp.
