How to add a number of days to a date?

Web Development

I want to add a number of days to the current date: For example, I want to get the date that comes after 180 days from the current date. I am trying to build a subscription system where the user package will expire in 30 days or 60 days or 180 days, so how do I get the expiring date?
Hope my question is clear.

You can use strtotime(time, now) which returns a Unix timestamp. Then you can use date('Y-m-d', $timestamp) to formate the timestamp. strtotime supports US English date format.

Try the example below.

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+180 days"));

This will calculate from the current date, but if you want to start from a specific date, you can use the second argument.

$from_date = strtotime("2022-10-25");
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+180 days", $from_date));
