Defining a datetime 31 days in the future?

[woolyg]

Hi all,

I'm taking information from a form that defines a starting time for an advert, as follows:

 

 

<?php
$start_day = $_POST['ad_start_day'];
$start_month = $_POST['ad_start_month'];
$start_year = $_POST['ad_start_year'];
$ad_start_date = $start_year."-".$start_month."-".$zero.$start_day." "."00:00:00";
?>

 

Now, i'd like to define $ad_end_date to be 31 days after $ad_start_date.. how do I do this?

 

I've looked at mktime() and strtotime() but neither are very clear, and both arent working for me!

 

Cheers,

Woolyg

try this...

 

<?php
$e = strtotime($ad_start_date);
$ad_end_date = mktime(0,0,0, date('n',$e), date('j',$e)+31, date('Y',$e) );
?>

Thanks -

 

I ended up using:

 

<?php
$start_day = $_POST['vacancy_start_day'];
$start_month = $_POST['vacancy_start_month'];
$start_year = $_POST['vacancy_start_year'];

$vacancy_start_date = $start_year."-".$start_month."-".$zero.$start_day." "."00:00:00";
$vacancy_end_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("$vacancy_start_date + 31 days"));
?>
