How do I get the next day of the week?

Question

Like if today is Thursday, then I want to display Friday using php date() function. For example, the below code will show the current month but the next day of the month. It worked. <?php echo date("M "), date("d")+1 ?>

So I was trying through this one <?php echo date("l")+1, date("d")+1 ?> and it fooled me :(.

Have a look at strtotime. Also, an l will produce a full textual representation of the day of the week (e.g. Friday) when using date.

Something like the following should do what you want:

date('l', strtotime('+1 day'))

The following expression gives you the next day:

date('l', time()+3600*24)

While unlikely, this could cause problems with leap seconds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second – Will Vousden Dec 13 '12 at 22:38
