It should help you:

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date. ' + 5 days'));

So it will be like follows:

<?php
$date = date('Y-m-d');
$newdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date.' + 5 days'));
echo "today is: $date";
echo "<br> and after 5 days is: $newdate";
?>

You can use strtotime() function to add days to current date. Please see the below :

 <?php
   $date =date("Y-m-d");
   $day = 5;
   $newdate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+$day days"));
   echo "today is:".$date;
   echo "<br> and after 5 days is :".$newdate;
 ?>

Try this

$date    = new DateTime();               // Creates new DatimeTime for today
$newdate = $date->modify( '+ 5 days' );  // Adds 5 days
echo $newdate->format( 'Y-m-d' );        // Echo and format the newdate to the wanted format
