HOw to add specific noumber of days to date stored in a variable

Question

I am fetching date from database and stored it in a variable called $lastRequest[1]. Now I need to add certain number of days which are stored in variable $licChkFreq to the date stored in $lastRequest[1].

I am using this code:

$nextRequest=$newExp = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($lastRequest[1])) . " +".$licChkFreq." day");
$nextRequest=date("Y-m-d",$nextRequest);

Answer 1

Try the following, this should give you what you need.

$newDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($lastRequest[1] . " +" . $licChkFreq ." days"));

This is the code I tested with

$lastRequest[1] = '2013-12-11';
$licChkFreq = 7;

$newDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($lastRequest[1] . " +" . $licChkFreq ." days"));

echo $newDate;
