adding 1 day to a DATETIME format value

Solution 1:

There's more then one way to do this with DateTime which was introduced in PHP 5.2. Unlike using strtotime() this will account for daylight savings time and leap year.

$datetime = new DateTime('2013-01-29');
$datetime->modify('+1 day');
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// Available in PHP 5.3

$datetime = new DateTime('2013-01-29');
$datetime->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// Available in PHP 5.4

echo (new DateTime('2013-01-29'))->add(new DateInterval('P1D'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// Available in PHP 5.5

$start = new DateTimeImmutable('2013-01-29');
$datetime = $start->modify('+1 day');
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Solution 2:

If you want to do this in PHP:

// replace time() with the time stamp you want to add one day to
$startDate = time();
date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+1 day', $startDate));

If you want to add the date in MySQL:

-- replace CURRENT_DATE with the date you want to add one day to
SELECT DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 1 DAY);
