$myDate = date ("y-m-d", $time );
should be with a capital 'Y' like so :
$myDate = date ("Y-m-d", $time );

Php docs has a very good explanation on the data-string formatting: Here

 $a6 = $_POST["e6"]   ; 
    $time = strtotime( $a6 );
    $myDate = date ("Y-m-d", $time ); 
    echo $myDate ;
    $n = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($myDate)) . " +$a7 month");
    $q = date("Y-m-d", $n);
    echo $q ;

You needed to change all the lower case y to capital Y. See here.
