How To Add 10 Months To A Date

Question

I've currently got a cut of PHP code that shows the date a user's account was created:

$user['contract_start']

For example, if I were to make a new account today and put that on a page while the account was logged in, it would come out with

2014-07-30

How can I alter this so that the code displays a string that adds exactly 10 months to the start date?

-1: Where is the $user object coming from? $user['contract_start'] is of what type? Fails basic debugging steps before asking question. — FallenAvatar, Jul 31 '14 at 03:46

try this -

date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+ 10 MONTHS', strtotime($date)))

`Warning: strtotime() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given`. Should be `date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+ 10 MONTH',strtotime($date)))`. see also http://stackoverflow.com/a/9875196/689579 – Sean Jul 31 '14 at 03:55

Using php Datetime class and Datetime::add

$user['contract_start'] = '2014-07-30';
$date = new DateTime($user['contract_start']);
$date->add(new DateInterval('P10M'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";
