php - add + 7 days to date format mm dd, YYYY

Question

I have date of this format March 3, 2011 in database and I need to extend it with 7 days. I mean

 $date = $date + 7

. Is there any build in function to do that ?

Answer 1

onClose: function(selectedDate) {

    $("#dpTodate").datepicker("option", "minDate", selectedDate);
    var maxDate = new Date(selectedDate);

     maxDate.setDate(maxDate.getDate() + 6); //6 days extra in from date

     $("#dpTodate").datepicker("option", "maxDate", maxDate);
}
