Hi, I need help..

i’ve date from database in format : 19/11/2009…i need to adding 2 weeks from this date

$date = “1/11/2009″;

so, here i need to convert it first into english format right?

$date = date ( ‘Y-m-d’ , $date );
$newdate = strtotime ( ‘+2 week’ , strtotime ( $date ) ) ;
$newdate = date ( ‘d/m/Y’ , $newdate);

The codes gives result 15/01/1970, the correct result should be 21/11/2011

Can anyone help me with this..thanks..

This looks great but how do I get a certain number of days e.g. -3 days to subtract from a variable date that is selected by the user in a drop-down calendar, on a previous page???

chill, here is how you can add substract days as variables:

$diff = 16;

$newdate = strtotime( ‘+’ . $diff .’ day’ , strtotime ( $date1 ) ) ;
