how to get the next year date from the date value stored in a php variable

I am trying to get the next year date from a php variable which holds the date value posted from a html form. Below is the code

    $warranty_from = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['from_date']);

Say the $warranty_from holds the value 2013-06-04. I want to get the next year date i.e 2014-06-04 and store into $warranty_to variable. Searched lot over the net but couldnt find any resource related to my issue. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Calculations like this are trivial using the DateTime classes:-

$_POST['from_date'] = '2013-06-04';//Just for this example.
$warranty = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $_POST['from_date']);
$interval = new DateInterval('P1Y');
$warranty->add($interval);

echo $warranty->format('Y-m-d');

Will output:-

2014-06-04

The following should work:

$warranty_from = '2013-06-04';
$warranty_to = date('y-m-d', strtotime('+1 years', strtotime($warranty_from)));

Something like that should work

Try this one

<?php
 $warranty_to = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 year', strtotime($warranty_from)));
?>

This was exact code

$newWarranty_date = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+1 year",strtotime($warranty_from)));
