Adding a month to a date

[isedeasy]

I am trying to add 1 month to a certain date from a database, I have searched for a solution and found the following :-

 

<?php

$todayDate = date("Y-m-d");

$dateOneMonthAdded = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($todayDate)) . "+1 month");

echo date('Y-m-d', $dateOneMonthAdded);

?>

 

This seems like a lot of code to add 1 month to a date?

 

The format I store the date as is:-

 

2012-05-24

 

I need to turn this date into:-

 

2012-06-24

 

Do I have to keep converting the date like above or is there a way of doing it with less code?

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+1 month"));

What if it's not today's date I want to add a month to?

date('Y-m-d', strtotime('2012-05-21 +1 month'));
