Display date, based on date... something

Hi,

I pay my affiliates twice per month (1st and 15th) and would like a function to output the next payment date.

How should I go about that?

You could do something like this:

//===
//If day part of month is 15 or greater, next payment will be first of next month
//===
$now = getdate();

if($now['day'] >= 15){
//Your next payment is on the 1st

$nextmonth = ($now['mon'] + 1) % 13 + 1;
$year = $now['year'];
if($nextmonth == 1)
    $year++;
$thefirst = gmmktime(0, 0, 0, $nextmonth, $year);

//Here, use date function to format the timestamp in thefirst var

}else{
//Your next payment is on the 15th

$thefifteenth = gmmktime(0, 0, 15, $now['mon'], $now['year']);
}

Will this work? (got an idea after looking at your code)

function NextPaymentDate() {
	
	# Next payment is the 1st
	if(date('d') >= 15) {

		$month = date('Month', strtotime('+1 month'));
		$year = date('Y',strtotime('+1 month'));

		return $month." 1st, ".$year;

	}else{
		
		# Next payment is on the 15th
		return date('F')." 15th, ".date('Y');
	}
}

That should work just fine! I just went with timestamps as wasnt sure how you wanted to display the dates.
