phpstrtotime

$date + 1 year?

I'm trying to get a date that is one year from the date I specify.

My code looks like this:

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+one year', $startDate));

It's returning the wrong date. Any ideas why?

Solution

  • To add one year to todays date use the following:

    $oneYearOn = date('Y-m-d',strtotime(date("Y-m-d", mktime()) . " + 365 day"));

    For the other examples you must initialize $StartingDate with a timestamp value for example:

    $StartingDate = mktime();  // todays date as a timestamp

    Try this

    $newEndingDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($StaringDate)) . " + 365 day"));

    or 

    $newEndingDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($StaringDate)) . " + 1 year"));
