Date that will print the last day of the month plus additional 5 days

Hi currently I have a date that is printing the last day of the month for example this month is August, it will print August 31, 2017.

This is the code:

    $lastdate = date('F t, Y');
    echo $lastdate ;

My problem is I want it to print 5 additional days to the last day of the month, so for example rather than it will print August 31, 2017 it will print Septermber 5, 2017

echo (new \DateTime('last day of this month'))->modify('+5 days')->format('F j, Y');
  1. Create a DateTime() object for the end of month
  2. Add 5 days to it
  3. Format the date

To do next month:

echo (new \DateTime('last day of next month'))->modify('+5 days')->format('F j, Y');

To do another month:

echo (new \DateTime('October 31, 2017'))->modify('+5 days')->format('F j, Y');

That should give you the idea.
