I want to get today's date + one year. How do I achieve this with PHP's date functions?

You can use strtotime and date

$date = '2010-09-16';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+12 months $date"));
// 2011-09-16

On a sidenote: DateTime questions like this have been answered over and over again, so you could have found how to add to a date easily by using the search function.

From PHP's documentation:

<?php
    $date = new DateTime($your_supposed_date);
    $date->add(new DateInterval('P1Y'));
    echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";
?>

Gordon's much cleaner version (Thank you!):

<?php
    $date = new DateTime("+12 months $theDate");
    echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";
?>

    While correct and good, note that `DateTime::__construct` uses the same parsing mechanism as `strtotime`, so you can also do `$date = new DateTime("+12 months $theDate"); echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";` – Gordon Sep 16 '10 at 07:24

$Ad_year = 2015-10-20
<?php echo $Ad_year + 1?>
Result 2016

  • @TobSpr, But it does. I don't know if it works until I try it. But it does attempt to answer the question. What am I missing ? – Rohit Gupta Oct 18 '15 at 00:19

The shortest version: 

echo (int)date('Y') + 1;

  • If you want to be strict, you will get this error `Binary operation "+" between string and 1 results in an error.`: https://phpstan.org/r/9f0842d1-8097-4dfd-a986-010a6e85670b – Mariyo Sep 06 '19 at 07:38

You could use the new Datetime and Datetime_Intervall-classes introduced in the later PHP 5-versions.

I once posted an answer in this question. Maybe it helps you :)

The advantage is, that this classes also checks for leap-seconds and leap-years, timezones, etc.

If you're working with timestamps

echo time()+60*60*24*365

Best and easy solution... You can change month or year or day.

date('Y-m-d',strtotime("+1 day +2months +1 year"));
