Re: Date Increment Problem

Firstly, you need to understand time. Time in computers is stored as the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970. The time now is 1035999078 (Or to humans, 17:31:30 on the 30th Oct). When you call the current time with time() it returns that long number above. You can then add on 1 days worth of seconds to figure out when tommorow is $CurrentTime = time(); $TommorowTime = $CurrentTime + ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 3 ); You can then use date() to transform that number in to human form $HumanDate = date( d/n/y H:i, $TommorowTime ); print $HumanDate; Hope this helps Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raheel Hussain" <raheelphp@yahoo.com> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:04 AM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Date Increment Problem > > hi, I m a newbie programmer, may b solve to this prob. is a cheap thing, but i cant get solution of it. > > i have two variables > $RegisterDate, and $ExpireDate > > what I want to do is the the $RegisterDate will be taken from the system. > but the $ExpireDate will be three days after the $RegisterDate, > > i m doing this in the following way, but having problems, i cant find the way to increment the data for after three days > > $RegisterDate=date("m/d/y"); > $ExpireDate=$RegisterDate + 3 //creating problem, > > if the register date is 10/29/01 then the expire date should be 11/2/02. > > plz help > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now
