Adding days to $Date in PHP
(12 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a table in MySQL with a date field (called NDate) which contains standard date values ("2017-04-17","2017-04-18", etc.).
Through PHP webpage, I am trying to take the system date (say today is 2017-04-17), and then pull all rows from the above table where NDate="2017-04-17". No issues till here.
I have a requirement to increment the day (starting today and going on for next 10 days - i.e. 2017-04-17 to 2017-04-26), and for each day report entries under a different heading like "Entries for 2017-04-17" which will list all rows having NDate 2017-04-17, "Entries for 2017-04-18" which will list all rows having NDate 2017-04-18.
I was trying to use a for loop with PHP date_modify function to increment the days one by one, but it is not showing any results.
Here are the selected pieces of code:
date_default_timezone_set('US/Eastern');
$datev = date("Y-m-d");
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++)
{
$datev=date_modify($date,"+$x days");
echo "before date format<br>"; // echo statement 1
echo "date is: $datev <br>"; // echo statement 2
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tablename where Ndate='$datev'";
echo "before result<br>"; // echo statement 3
...
...
...
}
Output on webpage shows only statement 1. But echo stats 2 and 3 are not printed.

Answer 1

You can increment days using strtotime function as a parameter to date function.
For 10 days, you can use for loop, to build an array of days. Then iterate over it, to execute queries you need.
$today = date('Y-m-d');
$dates=array($today);
for($i=1;$i<10;$i++) {
$NewDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+".$i." days"));
$dates[]=$NewDate;
}
foreach($dates as $dt) {
// sql stuff here
echo "date is: $dt <br>";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tablename where Ndate='$dt'";
echo "before result<br>";
// .....
}
This code should work for your case. If any problems, just let me know.

Answer 2

Try this:
$start = strtotime(date('Y-m-d'));
$end = strtotime(date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+10 days')));
while($start <= $end)
{
$date = date('Y-m-d', $start);
//use $date to do stuff
//SELECT * FROM tablename where Ndate='$date'
$start = strtotime("+1 day", $start);
}
