Increase/decrease a given date.
Hello,
I would like to increase or decrease a certain date, not the current date, but a date passed as a string.
This works fine but only with the current date:
echo "Next day : ". date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 days', $time));
I want to pass my date to get the day (+/- x days) date.
Can you help me out with this?
Thanks.

$inc=7;
$newdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($inc.' days'));
$newdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($inc.' days'));
Well, with your particular code it would be
$inc=-7; //plus or minus increment
echo "Next day : ". date('Y-m-d', strtotime($inc.' days', $time));
$inc=-7; //plus or minus increment
echo "Next day : ". date('Y-m-d', strtotime($inc.' days', $time));
Yeah, or this:
<?php
$add_days = 10 // Let's add 10 days!
$realtime = mktime(date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("n"), date("d") + $add_days, date("Y"));
$date = date("d-m-Y H:i:s", $realtime);
echo $date;
?>
If you want to substract days, just use a negative value for $add_days.
With this example, you don't need to convert everything to seconds.

$add_days = 10 // Let's add 10 days!
$realtime = mktime(date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("n"), date("d") + $add_days, date("Y"));
$date = date("d-m-Y H:i:s", $realtime);
echo $date;
?>

Guys you didn't get the ideea. I want to use my date ... something like this;
<?
$current_date = "2006-12-28";
echo "Next day : ". date($current_date, strtotime('+1 days', $current_date));
?>
I don't want to use the current date, that's working fine, i have a problem with a resulted date from wich i have to iterate.
Thank you.

Ah right. In that case, the second answer of yodercm was the right one, with $time being the date you want to use.

Elfe: no, that's not the right answer. Cause if you wanna add or substract more than 1 days, you'll have to multiply it by 86400 all the time. Yoder's answer is far better, but hey... nice try, mate :-).

$myTimestamp += 86400; // 86400 = 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours = 1 day
echo "Next day : ". date('Y-m-d', $myTimestamp);
