I need help with the date() function

Hey,

i'm new to PHP and i'm having trouble with the date() function. I need to get todays date and the following 5 days after. it needs to be in the following format "mm/dd/yyyy".

Can anyone help me out?

thanks

 

$unix_stamp = strtotime("now"); //today
$unix_stamp = strtotime("+1 day"); //tomorrow
echo date("m/d/Y", $unix_stamp);

PHP:

 

http://www.php.net/date

<?php
//get timestamp for past/future date I want
$pf_time = strtotime("+5 days");
//format the date using the timestamp generated
$pf_date = date("m/d/Y", $pf_time);
echo $pf_date ;
?>

Code (markup):

this prints

C:\Documents and Settings\User\regexp>php -f date.php
07/31/2006
C:\Documents and Settings\User\regexp>

This is another solution, is that clearer? In this ways, we can get exactly next/previous time (in seconds)

<?
$now=time(); // Current timestamp
$nextFiveDay=$now+5*24*3600; // exactly next 5 day
echo "Next five days: ".date("m/d/Y",$nextFiveDay);
?>
