Question

this is a very lame question but i m not able to find this one.
How to get today’s date and date after two months..

format is month-date-year (numerical.)

Answer 1

You can use the strtotime() function :

$today = time();
$twoMonthsLater = strtotime("+2 months", $today);

// If what you really want is exactly 60 days later, then
$sixtyDaysLater = strtotime("+60 days", $today);
// ...or 8 weeks later :
$eightWeeksLater = strtotime("+8 weeks", $today);

In any case, the resulting new timestamps can then be converted to month-date-year :

echo 'Today is : ' . date('m-d-Y', $today);
echo 'Two months later will be : ' . date('m-d-Y', $twoMonthsLater);

** UPDATE **

From the PHP manual

Note: Please keep in mind that these functions are dependent on the locale settings of your server. Make sure to take daylight saving time (use e.g. $date = strtotime(‘+7 days’, $date) and not $date += 7*24*60*60) and leap years into consideration when working with these functions.

Just thought I should mention it…
