Getting a future date

[SCook]

Hi all,

 

Is there a way, or a built in function, that I can send in a date, and an increment, 7 days later, for example, and the function would kick back the calander date in mm/dd/yyyy?  For example:

 

$newDate = getNewDate('12/3/2007', 7);

 

and it would kick out '12/9/2007'?  or whatever is neccesary?  The reaosn is that instead of creating code to figure it out, there mustbe a way that it can be donw automaticcally.  After all, the bios knows the calendar.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

like that?:

<?php

$new_date = time()+7*24*60*60;//the future date

?>

Use strtotime():

 

<?php

$timestamp = strtotime($date) + strtotime("+7 days") - time();

echo date("...", $timestamp); //choose the format

?>

 

 

Orio.
