Due date plus x days

[Ihsaan]

I have a variable setup to contain $created_date but now i need to create another variable to contain $due_date which is 30 days after the $created_date. How would i achieve this?

[darkfreaks]

like this....

 

 

$date = date("Y-m-d");// current date

$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +1 day");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +1 week");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +2 week");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +1 month");
$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +30 days");

Assuming $created_date is YYYY-MM-DD format

 

$due_date = date ('Y-m-d', strtottime("+30 days $created_date"));

 

If dates are Unix time values

 

$due_date = strtotime('+30 days' , $created_date);

 

Or if you are pulling created_date from a DB table

SELECT created_date + INTERVAL 30 DAY as due_date

Thanks guys for your quick response but something seems to be wrong. Here is the code on the page

 

$date_created = $_POST['date_created'];

$date_due = date('Y-m-d', strtottime('+30 days $date_created'));

 

Doesn't work? Any suggestions?

[Barand]

What does $date_created contain?

 

echo $date_created;

2012-08-28

[Barand]

You need double quotes and the function is strtotime, not strtoTtime

check line 50  -  http://codeviewer.org/view/code:293f

[Barand]

<?php
$date_created = '2012-08-28';
$date_due = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+30 days $date_created"));

echo $date_due ;         //--->  2012-09-27
?>

Not working Did you have a look at the code?

[Barand]

yes. I gave you the correct code. You are using $created_date.

[Ihsaan]

Fixed the $date_created still does not work... Will play around again later tonight maybe im missing something else. Thanks alot Barand

Perhaps, you have an error somewhere in your script.

Copy/paste Barand's code and tell us what a result you get it.

$date_created = '2012-08-28';
$date_due = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+30 days $date_created"));

echo $date_due ;         //--->  2012-09-27

i get a blank page

[Barand]

try it with error reporting turned on. At top of script put

 

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
