PHP add 1 month to date

Question

I\'ve a function that returns url of 1 month before.

I\'d like to display current selected month, but I cannot use simple current month, cause when user clicks link

Answer 1

simple method:

$next_month = strtotime('august 2012 next month');

better method:

$d = new Date('August 2012');
$next_month = $d->add(new DateInterval('P1M'));

relevant docs: strtotime date dateinterval

Answer 2

there are 3 options/answers

     $givendate is the given date (ex. 2016-01-20)

option 1:
        $date1 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($givendate. ' + 1 month'));

option 2:
        $date2 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($givendate. ' + 30 days'));

option 3:
        $number = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, date('m', strtotime($givendate)), date('Y', strtotime($givendate)));
        $date3 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date2. ' + '.$number.' days'));

Answer 3

Date difference

$date1 = '2017-01-20';
$date2 = '2019-01-20';

$ts1 = strtotime($date1);
$ts2 = strtotime($date2);

$year1 = date('Y', $ts1);
$year2 = date('Y', $ts2);

$month1 = date('m', $ts1);
$month2 = date('m', $ts2);

echo $joining_months = (($year2 - $year1) * 12) + ($month2 - $month1);

Answer 4

Hi In Addition to their answer. I think if you just want to get the next month based on the current date here's my solution.

$today = date("Y-m-01");

$sNextMonth = (int)date("m",strtotime($today." +1 months") );

Notice That i constantly define the day to 01 so that we're safe on getting the next month. if that is date("Y-m-d"); and the current day is 31 it will fail.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

You can with the DateTime class and the DateTime::add() method:

Answer 6

You can simple use the strtotime function on whatever input you have to arrive at April 2012 then apply the date and strtotime with an increment period of '+1 month'.

$x = strtotime($t);
$n = date("M Y",strtotime("+1 month",$x));
echo $n; 

Here are the relevant sections from the PHP Handbook:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

This solution solves the additional issue of incrementing any amount of time to a time value.
