Adding days to $Date in PHP

Question

I have a date returned as part of a mySQL query in the form 2010-09-17

I would like to set the variables $Date2 to $Date5 as follows:

$Dat

Answer 1

You can also use the following format

strtotime("-3 days", time());
strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date));

You can stack changes this way:

strtotime("+1 day", strtotime("+1 year", strtotime($date)));

Note the difference between this approach and the one in other answers: instead of concatenating the values +1 day and , you can just pass in the timestamp as the second parameter of strtotime.
