Answer 1

I find working with DateTime much easier to use:

$datetime = new \DateTime();
$datetime->modify('+6 months');
echo $datetime->format('d');

or

$datetime = new \DateTime();
$datetime->add(new DateInterval('P6M'));
echo $datetime->format('d');

or in PHP version 5.4+

echo (new \DateTime())->add(new \DateInterval('P6M'))->format('d');
