RE: [PHP] adding days to a given date

You'll want to do something like this: $timeStamp = strtotime("2004-04-29"); $timeStamp += 24 * 60 * 60 * 7; // (add 7 days) $newDate = date("Y-m-d", $timeStamp); The 'strtotime' function converts all sorts of standard dates to the Unix Epoch seconds (seconds since 1/1/1970). You then just add the required seconds!
