Question

I have:

PHP code: $date = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); and send this to my datebase

I use

$date = $gg['date'];

to get the date from my datebase
When I echo $date -> June 30, 2012, 3:45 pm

The time is already set in the database with mail.php, and in ordertracking.php I’m getting that time and want to add one week to it.

So I want to add one week to: $date = $gg['date'];

 $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die ("Can't connect");
mysql_select_db("shoppingcart", $connection) or die ("Can't connect");

$ordertracking = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `ordertracking` WHERE orderid='$orderid'");
while($gg=mysql_fetch_array($ordertracking))
{
    $progress = $gg['progress'];
    $date = $gg['date'];
}

mysql_close($connection)

Answer 1

Use the DateTime modify() method

$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat("F j, Y, g:i a", $date);
$dt->modify('+1 week');
echo $dt->format("F j, Y, g:i a");
