default_timezone_set

Every call to a date/time function will generate a
E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid,
and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using the system settings
or the TZ environment variable.

Then this code needs to be added.

Php code to find date after n days from today

We often face problem in finding date of say after 40 days from today. Since different month has different total days, so finding exact date is a challenge. For example January has 31 days, February has 28/29 days, April has 30 days. To sort out the problem you can follow below codes.

1
2
3
4
5

<?php
echo date("m/d/y");</span>
?>

would give you date in format 04/30/11 (04 is month April, 30 is date and 11 is year 2011)

Asian countries can use

1

<?php echo date("d/m/y"); // date/month/year format. ?>

Suppose we want to find date after 60 days from today (1st may 2011). To do this follow the code

1
2
3

<?php $tomorrow = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+60, date("y"));
echo "The date is ".date("d/m/y", $tomorrow); ?>

OUTPUT will be

1

The date is 30/06/11. (30 June 2011)

Now let’s do a little experiment. June has 30 days so let’s see the output of below code

1
2
3

<?php $tomorrow = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+61, date("y"));
echo "The date is ".date("d/m/y", $tomorrow); ?>

OUTPUT will be

1

The date is 01/07/11. (1 July 2011).

So it means by using mktime() and date() function of php we can find any date in future and we don’t have to worry about number of days in a month, leap-year.
