Calculating future date in php using time()

I'm trying to show the time 10 days from now.

$now = time();

$est = ($now - (60 * 60 * 4)); // subtract 4 hours

$later = ($est + (60*60*24*10));

$show_now = date('M m, Y h:i:s A', $est); // correct

$show_later = date('M m, Y h:i:s A', $later); // showing same as above...WHY!?

echo "now: ".$show_now."<br />later: ".$show_later;

Both echo the same time. Why?

$show_now = date('M m, Y h:i:s A', $est); // correct
$show_later = date('M m, Y h:i:s A', $later); // showing same as above...WHY!?

should be 

$show_now = date('M d, Y h:i:s A', $est); // correct
$show_later = date('M d, Y h:i:s A', $later); // NOT showing same as above

else you don't show the day, resulting in identical output before the 20th of each month
