increment date by one month

Question

Let\'s say I have a date in the following format: 2010-12-11 (year-mon-day)

With PHP, I want to increment the date by one month, and I want the year to be automatica

Answer 1

I use this way:-

 $occDate='2014-01-28';
 $forOdNextMonth= date('m', strtotime("+1 month", strtotime($occDate)));
//Output:- $forOdNextMonth=02


/*****************more example****************/
$occDate='2014-12-28';

$forOdNextMonth= date('m', strtotime("+1 month", strtotime($occDate)));
//Output:- $forOdNextMonth=01

//***********************wrong way**********************************//
$forOdNextMonth= date('m', strtotime("+1 month", $occDate));
  //Output:- $forOdNextMonth=02; //instead of $forOdNextMonth=01;
//******************************************************************//
