Hi Bill,
This should do the trick:
<?php
// Get the day, month and year in seperate variables
$day = date("d");
$month = date("m");
$year = date("Y");
if ($day > 28)
{
// What happens if the current date is 29, 30 or 31? I will assume
the following:
$day = 28;
}
// Increase the month by 1
$month++;
if ($month==13)
{ // December -> January next year
$month = 1;
$year++;
}
echo "Date in the future is " . $day . "-" . $month . "-" . $year;
?>
Kind regards,
Mathew
