Incrementing a date by one day

[svgmx5]

I'm having troubles incrementing a date by one day using the following format:

 

11-17-2011 (m-d-Y)

 

I am attempting to use the following script:

 

$time = strtotime("11-17-2011");
$final = date("m-d-Y", strtotime("+1 day", $time));

 

When i echo $final i get a whole different date "01-01-1970"

 

Now if i switch the format around to the following:

$time = strtotime("2011-11-17");
$final = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", $time));

 

and i echo $final i get the right date but in that format (2011-11-18). Is there a way i can get the date in the first format?(m-d-Y)

nevermind i read it too fast but thats weird

 

maybe this will help you out http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php

 

try:

$time = strtotime("11/17/2011");
$final = date("m-d-Y", strtotime("+1 day", $time));

 

or:

$time = strtotime(str_replace("-","/","11-17-2011"));
$final = date("m-d-Y", strtotime("+1 day", $time));

The format of the date you're passing in is not in a format that's accepted by strtotime(): http://us2.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php

 

strtotime() takes one argument, you're passing it two. You don't need to call strtotime() twice, it will perform the addition and conversion to unix time in one operation.

 

$time = strtotime("11/17/2011 + 1 day");
$final = date("m-d-Y", $time);
echo $final;

Awesome, this did the job. Wasn't aware that the format i was using was not accepted with that function. Now i know thanks everyone!
