Is there a way to take a date that a user submits, and add to it. For example, they submit the date 03/11/05 and i would add three and it would now have the value of 03/14/05.
Thanks
Robert

Code: Select all
echo date("m/d/y", strtotime("03/11/05")+(3*24*60*60));

Code: Select all
echo date("m/d/y", strtotime("03/11/05 + 3 days"));
will do the same
and just for info
Just a comment that the strtotime function supports American date format before it supports English date format.
$input = "02/01/2000";
$time = strtotime($input);
$output = date("Ymd", $time);
For the example date above, the output will be 20000201.
However, for the 29th January 2000 (29/01/2000) the output is 20020501
so it assumes mm/dd/yyyy rather than dd/mm/yyyy
