Question

I’m new to PHP and I want to add 2 months to a specific date in an html code. How can I do it? Please guide me through,

Here’s the code I use:

    private function inputExpiryDate() {
    $value = $this->expiryDate;
    $html = "";
    $html .= '<label for="expirydate">Expiry Date:</label>';
    $html .= '<input type="text" readonly name="expirydate" id="expirydate" value="'.$value.'">';
    $html .= '<input type="button" id="expirydatebutton" onclick="getExpiryDate()">' . PHP_EOL;
    return $html;
}

Question is how will I add this

$date = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date)) . " +2 month"); ?? 

Any help is really appreciated.

Answer 1

You don’t have to decompose the $date value to use it when doing relative date changes. This should just work as expected:

$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("$date +1 month"));
