PHP Code:

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d');

$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');

echo '<br />';

echo $year . '-';
echo $month . '-';
echo $day + 10;
?>

If it's a textual date (ie: you have a string "2004-05-23" that you want to add 10 days to), then it's easiest to parse the textual date into a timestamp with strtotime(), then add ten days.

PHP Code:

$mydate = "2004-05-23";
$newdate = strtotime($mydate);
$newdate = $newdate + (60 * 60 * 24 * 10);
echo date('y-m-d', $newdate); 


You can just use time() (or mktime() if you want a predefined date) to just get a timestamp isntead of parsing a textual date:

PHP Code:

$newdate = time(); // right now
$newdate = $newdate + (60 * 60 * 24 * 10);
echo date('y-m-d', $newdate); 


cptnwinky, your method would not always work. For example, if it was the 26th of a month, the date would end up being the 36th etc.

You could just do:

PHP Code:

$datevar = "2004-05-23";
$exploded = explode("-", $datevar);
$day = $exploded[2] + 10;
$new date = $exploded[0]."-".$exploded[1]."-".$day; 


That is basically the same thing cptnwinky did. If you add 10 to 23, you get 33. There is no 33rd of any month.
