How can i add days to time stamp and echo the time. I tried and able to add days to it but when echo it shows a no's.

$timestamp = strtotime('+7 days', $row['sdate']);

Is this code is correct.

Answer 1

Strtotime function wants unix timestamp, so you need to convert your time (that i expect is normal datetime)?

strtotime('+7 days', strtotime($row['sdate']) );

Then if you want to format it to datetime again you do like this:

$timestamp = strtotime('+7 days', strtotime($row['sdate']) );
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $timestamp);

You can read more about strtotime and date on php's manual. http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

It should be like

$date = strtotime($row['sdate']);
$date = strtotime("+7 day", $date);
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',$date);

OR you can also try like

$date = strtotime('+7 days', strtotime($row['sdate']) );
echo date('Y-m-d',$date);
