RE: [PHP] mktime to determine specific future date

Hi, You can use the Unix time to calculate the date. Unix date is based on number of seconds since the epoch (1 Jan 1970). And there are 24 hrs in a day thus: 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 seconds in a day. So 90 days would be 86400 * 90 = 7776000 seconds. Now to find out 90 days from now you simply do $ninetydays = time() + ( (24 * 60 * 60) * 90 ); > -----Original Message----- > From: kris@grinz.com [mailto:kris@grinz.com] > Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2000 10:08 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] mktime to determine specific future date > > > I am writing a calendar script and having trouble figuring out how to > use mktime to determine the date x number of days from current > date.
