The trouble is that the date('d-m-Y') returns string with - symbols and you try to sum it with a "1". You can't mix php types in this way.

First of all you definitely should read about php types, php math operations and type juggling.

Next, there is a special library to work with date and time. And you definitely should use it to date and time operations. The DateTime is an object that contents date and time and can be represented as string by format function.

Operations with date and time are quite difficult (leap years, February and so son). And it is highly recommended to use special API from DateTime.

So, for you task (refer to add function of datetime):

$date = new \DateTime('23-07-2019');
$date->add(new \DateInterval('P1D'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d);
