Increase days to php current Date()

Question

How do I add a certain number of days to the current date in PHP?

I already got the current date with:

$today = date(\'y:m:d\');

You can also use Object Oriented Programming (OOP) instead of procedural programming:

$fiveDays = new DateInterval('P5D');
$today = new DateTime();
$fiveDaysAgo = $today->sub(fiveDays); // or ->add(fiveDays); to add 5 days

Or with just one line of code:

$fiveDaysAgo = (new DateTime())->sub(new DateInterval('P5D'));
