Date Manipulation Class

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
in php5.3 you can add or substract dates using the date_add and date_sub methods in procedural or OO style.

Code:

$date = new DateTime(); // same as time function
echo $date->add(new DateInterval("P5D"))->format('Y-m-d');

with the DateTime object the strtotime date modifying functionality is for the modify method

Code:

$date = new DateTime(); // same as time function
echo $date->add('+5 day')->format('Y-m-d');
