PHP - add 1 day to date format mm-dd-yyyy

Answer 1

use http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.add.php like

$date = date_create('2000-01-01');
date_add($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string('1 days'));
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');

output

2000-01-2

Answer 2

$date = strtotime("+1 day");
echo date('m-d-y',$date);

Answer 3

The format you've used is not recognized by strtotime(). Replace

$date = "04-15-2013";

by

$date = "04/15/2013";

Or if you want to use - then use the following line with the year in front:

$date = "2013-04-15";

Answer 4

Actually I wanted same alike thing, To get one year backward date, for a given date! :-)

With the hint of above answer from @mohammad mohsenipur I got to the following link, via his given link!

Luckily, there is a method same as date_add method, named date_sub method! :-) I do the following to get done what I wanted!

$date = date_create('2000-01-01');
date_sub($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string('1 years'));
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');

Hopes this answer will help somebody too! :-)

Good luck guys!

Answer 5

there you go

$date = "04-15-2013";
$date1 = str_replace('-', '/', $date);
$tomorrow = date('m-d-Y',strtotime($date1 . "+1 days"));

echo $tomorrow;

this will output

04-16-2013

Answer 6

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('m-d-Y', '04-15-2013');
$date->modify('+1 day');
echo $date->format('m-d-Y');

See it in action

Or in PHP 5.4+

echo (DateTime::createFromFormat('m-d-Y', '04-15-2013'))->modify('+1 day')->format('m-d-Y');

reference

• DateTime::createFromFormat()
