How do I add one year to the current date

[aaron118]

I will use the date function to get the current date but then I want to add one year to the date. So I am left with what the date would be in a years time. How would I do this?

Thanks

Have you tried

$nextYear = (date("Y")+1);

Have you tried

$nextYear = (date("Y")+1); 

I don't think that works. It outputs "1" for me...

This should work, though:

echo strtotime("+1 year");

HUH? check again, for me it evaluates to 2006

echo strtotime("+1 year");

outputs:
1154411021
as per the php docs:
"strtotime -- Parse about any English textual datetime description into a UNIX timestamp"
So, aaron118, there you go, now you have at least 2 ways to get what you need.

Sorry, you're absolutely right. Your method works great.

What would the code be so it gave me the day and month in a years time as well?

Thanks

$nextYear = (date("Y")+1);
echo (date("D, M,".$nextYear.""));



That would output:
Mon, Aug, 2006

My last post is kinda goofy... copying/posting with advanced setting is odd...

anyway:

if you want something like: 8/1/2006 you could do:

$nextYear = (date("Y")+1);
echo (date("m/d/".$nextYear.""));
