how do i do that?

using timestamps and mktime i can get the unix timestamp for 7 days from now, but how do i reformat it back to d.m.y format?


what i need this for is to have the date of entry incremented by 7 aka a week and apparently date('d.m.y') dosent let me just add 7 to the days, and i dont know how to convert out of unix timestamp into normal date format.


Thanx for help!

Code: Select all

$newstamp = date("d.m.Y",$yourmodifiedtimestamp);

Usually i find http://www.php.net/strtotime easier than mktime ;)

Code: Select all

<?php
echo date('d.m.Y', strtotime('+7 days'));
?>

Each to their own, I suppose.
I usually work with timestamps and convert them only for the actual output. And 604800 isn't too bad ,)

both of those output unix timestamps, what i need is the opposite, i need a non unix time out of an unix timestamp

I wouldn't say that...

Code: Select all

<?php
$yourmodifiedtimestamp= date("U") + 604800;
echo date("d.m.Y",$yourmodifiedtimestamp);
?>
