Future Dates

[herghost]

Evening All,

 

How would I go about selecting a future date based on a date?

 

What I want to achieve is to take todays date, add ten days to it and then store it as the month end following that date.

 

For example 19th Nov + 10days = 29th November = 31st Dec

 

 

Many thanks for any pointers!

strtotime() is your friend:

 

$date = strtotime('19th Nov');
$date = strtotime('+10 days', $date);
$date = strtotime('last day next month', $date);
echo date('jS F', $date);

Thanks!

 

That is amazing!

 

How would i get it to work with dates in a format such as 2010-19-11??

Nevermind 'now' does the job just fine!

strtotime() defaults to now or current time if you don't give it a timestamp to work from.  So this will do it:

 

$date = strtotime('+10 days');
$date = strtotime('last day next month', $date);
echo date('jS F', $date);

 

But if you have other dates that aren't today then you would just strtotime() them first:

 

$date = strtotime('2011-01-01');
