Re: How can I add months to a date?

This is what I have going on. 

$con_period = ceil($d['Option']['con_period']);

$ebegin_date = strtotime("+$con_period months", strtotime($d['Project']['begin_date']));

$ebgin_date = date('Y-m-d', $ebegin_date);

$d['Expense']['0']['begin_date'] = $ebegin_date;

This is what $d looks like when I hit submit. Notice the two begin dates below.

Array ( [Project] => Array ( [name] => Test 1212 [address] => 412 Dolhonde St [city] => Gretna [state_id] => 19 [zip] => 70065 [price] => 50000 [gross_sqft] => 1000 [condition_id] => 2 [location_id] => 4 [ptype_id] => 4 [begin_date] => 2012-07-04 [notes] => [user_id] => 4 )[Expense] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Antcipated Expenses [type] => 1 [cost] => 0 [begin_date] => 1362376800 ) ) )

date("m", strtotime("+3 months"));
will give you the month number for three months in to the future.

Something like
$future = "+2 weeks";
date("Y-m-d", strtotime($future));
will give you the date two weeks in to the future.

You might be able to work something out from these.
