Where are $getdate & $days coming from. What are you actually trying to output? — Joseph_J, Jun 04 '18 at 07:04
every thing is working fine but ists not adding the days thats it / after split i am getting the date in Y-m-d — Shruti, Jun 04 '18 at 07:05
you're using `date()` wrong, here's the line problem `$newdates = date ($date, strtotime ("+".$days) ) ;`, you already know you need to provide the format on the first argument — Kevin, Jun 04 '18 at 07:05

just use `DateTime` object, then use `$date = new DateTime($split[0]); echo $date->modify('+' . $days . ' days')->format('Y-m-d');` like so, no fuzz or anything else — Kevin, Jun 04 '18 at 07:08

I think you need something like

 $newdates = date ('Y-m-d', strtotime ($date . " + " . $days . "days") )

or simply

 $newdates = date ('Y-m-d', strtotime ("+ " . $days . "days") )

$newdates = date ('Y-m-d', strtotime ($date . " + 30days")); if i used this its working – Shruti Jun 04 '18 at 07:12

If your trying to build an array containing the next 30 days, loop over the date() & strtotime() functions like so:

$todaysDate = date('Y-m-d');
for($i = 0; $i < 30; $i++){

  $newDates[] = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($todaysDate .  ' +' . $i . ' days'));

}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($newDates);
