You started me off in the right direction. And ... with a few beers less in the brain (and a look at php.net and PHP Developers Cookbook) I finally found that mktime actually increments dates correctly. So, given that $month, $day and $year are valid and that we want to add 10 days to the output we can do: echo date ("Y-m-d", mktime (0,0,0,$month, $day, $year)) . "<br>"; for($i=1; $i<=9; $i++) { $day++; echo date ("Y-m-d", mktime (0,0,0,$month, $day, $year)) . "<br>"; } Cheers, Martin S.
