Help please with this date calculation stuff in PHP

user-7256 · Oct 19, 2005

Hi,

Let's say I have date format in PHP:

$date = date("Y-m-d");

How can I add exactly 1 year to this?

Thanks,
-Matt

i think u can use $date++ [not so sure tho since i m a newbie too]

Can could just do this:

$year = date('Y');
$year++;

$remainingDate = date('m-d');
$date = "$year-$remainingDate";

i told him how over instant message

PHP:

$date = date("Y-m-d");
$tmp = explode("-", $date);
$tmp[0]++;
$newdate = "$tmp[0]-$tmp[1]-$tmp[2]";

Hm, thanks for the way you showed me axilant

However, moondog's way is a bit shorter. I'll add to both your reps

Thanks both! ^_^
