Condensing Code For Dates

[Ninjakreborn]

<?php

                   $dateTo = $this->input->post('dateFrom');
                   $dateTo = strtotime($dateTo . "+1 year");
                   $dateTo = date('m/d/Y', $dateTo);
                   $dateTo = strtotime($dateTo . "-1 day");
                   $dateTo = date('Y-m-d', $dateTo);

?>

 

Is there a better way to write/condense this and still retail accuracy?

 

This takes a date, adds a year to it, then takes away one day.

$dt = '12/25/2012';

$dtObj = new datetime($dt);
$dtObj->add(new DateInterval('P1Y'));
$dtObj->sub(new DateInterval('P1D'));

echo $dtObj->format('m/d/Y');    //--> 12/24/2013

Take note of the american date format. You can chain the add and subject as shown below just be careful it doesn't return false; that said if it does return false in this situation I'd argue its a programming error and you should sort it out so chaining is fine.

 

$dtObj->add(new DateInterval('P1Y'))->sub(new DateInterval('P1D'));
