Hello.

Ive just rgistered in this site, honestly its really great and helpfull, in meanwhile iam coding a php script that will enter a form post into MYSQL table predefined fields in a way of the following:

Post date:
-------------
$day=date(d);
$month=date(m);
$year=date(y);

$count = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);
$fulldate = "$count,$month,$year";

- The upper code will be entered in mysql table field as follows: 29,02,08
- Now the main interesting part is that how i can, for example to calculate + 3 days begin from the given day, ive try the following with no luck.

$expire=$fulldate+3;

The following giving me if the post date is 29, then expire date: 32,02,08 since February is 29 days. So all i need is how i can do in order of if the post date is 29 it jump automatically to March 3

Any code example help would be fine and thankful to my email: kegham@protechzone.com. In case this post not in its required section sorry for it. Rolling Eyes

Recently in my previous above post I’ve asked for a small date calculation help and i couldn’t get any answer for it, but in meanwhile i was trying to self help myself since there is always logic and mind in human Embarassed

. So I’ve end with the following code and i wish this will be helpful if someone need to "add days to current date" See below code and i hope it will be useful for someone Smile

.

<?php
$hours='504'; // add hours - "504" mean ( 21 days * 24 hours )
$day=date(d); //current date
$month=date(m); // current month
$year=date(y); // current year
echo date("d-m-y", mktime($hours, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year)); // (504 = 21days)
// In this way we echo output: The current date as timestamp (day-month-year) + 504 hours this mean + 21 days, so it will automatically generate the next month and the additional days and wont generate as 32.
?>
