The output of the above code is '2017-03-31'. I need to get February, not March.

Answer 1

If you want to get the next irrespective of the current date in the current month. below code may help you
echo date('M',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
// e.g. "Jan"
echo date('m',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
// e.g. "1"
echo date('F',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
// e.g. "January"
This will give you Next month.
You can find more formatting masks in date() function documentation

Answer 2

Use Like This
// One month from today
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 month'));
// One month from a specific date
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 month', strtotime('2015-01-01')));

To get next month using php use string to time function as below:
$nxtm = strtotime("next month");
echo date("M", $nxtm);

date("m", strtotime("2021-08-16 +1 Month"));

Answer 5

You can use the code below to get the next months first day.
$date = (new \DateTime('first day of next month'))->format('Y-m-d');
This is safer than 'next month' or '+1 month' because you may skip some months then.

Answer 6

If you want to have the next month with the same day as this month, or the last day of the next month if it otherwise would switch month you can use this function
function nextMonth()
{
$nextMonthNumber = date('M', strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
$nextMonthDate = new DateTime();
$nextMonthDate->add(new DateInterval('P1M'));
while ($nextMonthDate->format('M') != $nextMonthNumber) {
$nextMonthDate->sub(new DateInterval('P1D'));
}
return $nextMonthDate;
}
