    I would suggest using mktime() or strtotime for getting this done

    <?php
$tomorrow  = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")  , date("d")+1, date("Y"));
$lastmonth = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")-1, date("d"),   date("Y"));
$nextyear  = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"),   date("d"),   date("Y")+1);
?>
    PHP:
    This will enable you to add and subtracts days, yars, months etc.

    Using strtotime()

    <?

$date='2008-01-02';
$timestamp = strtotime('-1 day', strtotime($date));
echo date('Y-m-d',$timestamp);
?>
