Submitted by razormist on Friday, June 5, 2020 - 21:37.

In this article we will try to create a Add Day In Current Date using PHP. The code will dynamically add an additional day to current date when you enter some value and submitted. This is a user-friendly kind of program feel free to modify it. To learn more about this tutorial, just follow the step below.

Getting Started:

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html. And, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-widht, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">Add Day In Current Date Using PHP</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-8">
                        <?php
                                date_default_timezone_set("Etc/GMT-8");
                                $date = date("M d, Y h:i:s A");
                                echo "<h4>Today Time: <span class='text-success'>".$date."</span></h4>";
                        ?>
                        <?php include'add.php'?>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4">
                        <form action="" method="POST">
                                <label>Enter a value</label>
                                <div class="form-group">
                                        <input type="number" class="form-control" min="0" name="num">
                                </div>
                                <center><button class="btn btn-primary" name="add">Add</button></center>
                        </form>
                </div>
        </div>
</body>
</html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will add extra day when you submit some value. To make this just copy and write these block of codes below inside the text editor, then save it as add.php

<?php
        if (isset($_POST['add'])){
                $num=$_POST['num'];
                $str="days";
                echo "<h5>Added <strong><span class='text-danger'>".$num."</span></strong> ".$str.".</h5>";
                $newdate=date('M d, Y h:i:s A', strtotime("+$num $str", strtotime($date)));     
                echo "<h4> Your New Time: <span class='text-primary'>".$newdate."</span></h4>";
        }
 
?>
