How to add 2 days to a date in PHP?
There are many ways to add days to a string date. The best function is the following one:
function dayadd($days,$date=null , $format="d/m/Y"){
return date($format,strtotime($days." days",strtotime( $date ? $date : date($format) )));
}
This function let you decide the date to which add the days, the output format and days to add. To use the function look these examples:
echo dayadd(2); // 2 days after today echo dayadd(-2,null,"Y-m-d"); // 2 days before today with given format echo dayadd(3,"12/31/2009"); // 3 days after given date echo dayadd(3,"12/31/2009","d-m-Y"); // 3 days after given date with given format

Sorry I am not sure what kind of time can I pass into this? I store times as UTC time in a regualr integer filed in mysql, I am thinking my utc time stamp will not work?

I use to work with DATE fields in my tables with YYYY-MM-DD format, but this function should work also with other formats (d-m-Y or m-d-Y), I’ve not tested every combination. You should add characters “-” to your integer date and convert it to a string to use this function.
