PHP, adding time to date();?

Question

I have used this to get the server date,

$yd = getdate();

echo $yd['year'];
echo $yd['mon'];
echo $yd['mday'];

...but how do I add something to it. For example, I want to know what date it will be in 7 days.

Thanks!

echo date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+7 days"));

THANKS! It works. And another quick question, can I also compare them? such as if ( date("Y-m-d") > 21-12-2010 ) {} ? to know if this date has already passed or not.

You can compare them, but make sure the format is the same - unlike in your example. Do it like date("Y-m-d") > "2010-12-14".

I usually force them both to be unix timestamp so my comparison would be strtotime(date("Y-m-d")) > strtotime("2010-12-24")

Use strtotime()
