im doing some stuff with mktime, i need to add the next date with 30 days more but its returning me 1970-01-30 date, what im doing wrong ?
$strtime=strtotime("2013-10-04");
$fecha=date("Y-m-d",$strtime);
echo $fecha."<br />";
$nueva_fecha=mktime(0,0,0,date("n",$fecha),date("j",$fecha)+30,date("Y",$fecha));
echo date("Y-m-d",$nueva_fecha)."<br />";
Result:
2013-10-04
1970-01-30
Date is looking for a timestamp as it's 2nd parameter, not a string value representing this. Updated to pass it $strtime instead.
$strtime=strtotime("2013-10-04");
$fecha=date("Y-m-d",$strtime); // <-- Unnecessary unless you want to echo the value.
echo $fecha."<br />";
$nueva_fecha=mktime(0,0,0,date("n",$strtime),date("j",$strtime)+30,date("Y",$strtime));
echo date("Y-m-d",$nueva_fecha)."<br />";
Output:
2013-10-04
2013-11-03
You can just use the following function to add 30 days to the date you put in:
$date = strtotime("2013-10-04");
$new_date = strtotime("+30 days", $date);
or simply to the current date:
$new_date = strototime("+30 days", time());
If you already have strtotime, why plus on date ? Instead you could've used + (30 days in seconds) OR simply the feature they offer you + 1 day check answer: adding one day to a date
strtotime('2013-10-04 + 30 days');
This will print 2013-11-03:
date('Y-m-d', strtotime('2013-10-04 + 30 days'))
you can try this:
echo strtotime("+1 day"), "\n";
echo strtotime("+30 day",strtotime(date('D, d M Y'))), "\n";
this will add 30 days to the current date.
Also strtotime is very usefull you can use it for weekly,monthly and yearly.
You can use this also
<?php
$date = date("Y/m/d"); // example date in yyyy/mm/dd format
$unix_time = strtotime( $date ); // covert date to unix time
$sec_in_30_days = 60 * 60 * 24 * 30; // 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 30 days
$new_unix_time = $unix_time + $sec_in_30_days; // add 30 days to unix time
$date_in_30_days = date( 'Y/m/d', $new_unix_time ); // convert new unix time to date
// Output results:
echo 'original current date: ' . $date . '<br />';
echo '<br />';
echo 'new date: ' . $date_in_30_days . '<br />';
?>
Output will be
original current date: 2013/10/04
new date: 2013/11/03
