Dynamic future dates

[pthurmond]

Will the following code generate a date 30 days in the future?

[code]
$today = date("Y-n-j");
$future = $today + 30;
[/code]

Thanks,

No, but there are functions that will allow you to do this, more notably functions such as mktime I believe which can be used in conjunction with date(). 

There is an example of date and mktime together in the manual at this page:

The following is copied from www.php.net/time:
[code]
<?php
$nextWeek = time() + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60);
                  // 7 days; 24 hours; 60 mins; 60secs
echo 'Now:      '. date('Y-m-d') ."\n";
echo 'Next Week: '. date('Y-m-d', $nextWeek) ."\n";
?>
[/code]
So the following should give you 30 days from now:
[code]
<?php
$days = time() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60);
                  // 30 days; 24 hours; 60 mins; 60secs
echo 'Now:      '. date('Y-m-d') ."\n";
echo '<br>30 Days from now: '. date('Y-m-d', $days) ."\n";
?>
[/code]
