I'm struggling with how to build the following:
result I need:
$months = array();
$months
(
month[0] = '2011-10-1'
month[1] = '2011-11-1'
month[2] = '2011-12-1'
month[3] = '2012-1-1'
)
from the following variables:
$date = '2011-10-1';
$numberOfMonths = 4;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, guys... all of these solutions work. I accepted the one that works best for my usage.
You can do it using a simple loop and strtotime():
$date = '2011-10-1';
$numberOfMonths = 4;
$current = strtotime($date);
$months = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $numberOfMonths; $i++) {
$months[$i] = date('Y-n-j', $current);
$current = strtotime('+1 month', $current);
}
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-j', '2011-10-1');
$months = array();
for ($m = 0; $m < $numberOfMonths; $m++) {
$next = $date->add(new DateInterval("P{$m}M"));
$months[] = $next->format('Y-m-j');
}
<?php
function getNextMonths($date, $numberOfMonths){
$timestamp_now = strtotime($date);
$months[] = date('Y-m-d', $timestamp_now);
for($i = 1;$i <= $numberOfMonths; $i++){
$months[] = date('Y-m-d', (strtotime($months[0].' +'.$i.' month')));
}
print_r($months);
}
getNextMonths('2011-10-1', 4);
You could use split on date and then a for loop over the month. The trick is to use something like
$newMonth = ($month + $i) % 12 + 1;
(% is called modulo and does exactly what you want.)
$month == 1
