CodeIgniter: A non well formed numeric value encountered

Question

I'm working with CI and it is successfully echoing the proper expire date, but I am also getting this error:

A non well formed numeric value encountered

    $expire_datetime = date('g:ia \o\n l jS F Y',strtotime($row->created, "+2weeks"));  
    echo $expire_datetime;

Maybe you would like to use `date_format()` function. Check the [docs](http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php#107757). — Tpojka, Jul 19 '15 at 15:05
Tried that. Still works but throws this: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTimeInterface, string given — Dan Henry, Jul 19 '15 at 15:37
I think you would need to concatenate second parameter in strtotime() function as: `strtotime($row->created . " + 2 weeks")` — Tpojka, Jul 19 '15 at 15:48

All you coding is correct. problem is with +2weeks. When you use strtotime() function you need to keep <space> on between text(+2<SPACE>weeks).

Examples(from W3Schools)

<?php
    echo(strtotime("now") . "<br>");
    echo(strtotime("3 October 2005") . "<br>");
    echo(strtotime("+5 hours") . "<br>");
    echo(strtotime("+1 week") . "<br>");
    echo(strtotime("+1 week 3 days 7 hours 5 seconds") . "<br>");
    echo(strtotime("next Monday") . "<br>");
    echo(strtotime("last Sunday"));
?>

So your Final Well form code is

$expire_datetime = date('g:ia \o\n l jS F Y',strtotime($row->created, "+2 weeks"));

strtotime() function requires relative date format in first argument. Second argument is optional and can be unix time stamp.
