Jump to PostThe actual day or date ?
Current date :
$today = date('Y-m-d'); echo $today; // This will print for example 2007-11-30Current day :
$today = date('d'); echo $today; // This will print for example 30
<?php //add_days.php
if(isset($_REQUEST['submit'])){
$start_date="2007-11-25";
$add_days=$_REQUEST['days'];
$new_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($start_date.' + '.$add_days. ' days'));
echo $new_date;
}
?>

The actual day or date ?
Current date :
$today = date('Y-m-d');
echo $today; // This will print for example 2007-11-30Current day :
$today = date('d');
echo $today; // This will print for example 30For more options or format -> http://bg2.php.net/date
OK this looks like it will work could you look at this
jobs.yumasun.com/AESgenericII/new_job.php
In the bottom of the formo you will see drop downs for start and end date. above that I will have the radio buttons then after a radio button is selected I will select the start date in the drop down an acording to that a calculation will be made and utomatically wwill set the end date
Ok this work guys very well
I had this to calculate the start date and write it to the db
$s_month = ($_REQUEST);
$s_day = ($_REQUEST);
$s_year = ($_REQUEST);
$start = $s_month . '/' . $s_day . '/' . $s_year;
I used the php scrip that nav33n send and modify it to this
$today = date('m/d/Y');
$add_days=$_REQUEST;
$end = date('m/d/Y', strtotime($start.' + '.$add_days. ' days'));
and it works The start auto selected to actual date but also can be modify and the end date is calculated based on the radio button selection and start date. Very cool
Thank you
