Php Solutions
Solution 1 - Php
date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 day', strtotime($date)))
Should read
date('Y-m-d', strtotime(' +1 day'))
Update to answer question asked in comment about continuously changing the date.
<?php
$date = isset($_GET['date']) ? $_GET['date'] : date('Y-m-d');
$prev_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date .' -1 day'));
$next_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date .' +1 day'));
?>
<a href="?date=<?=$prev_date;?>">Previous</a>
<a href="?date=<?=$next_date;?>">Next</a>
This will increase and decrease the date by one from the date you are on at the time.
Solution 2 - Php
Requirement: PHP 5 >= 5.2.0
You should make use of the DateTime and DateInterval classes in Php, and things will turn to be very easy and readable.
Example: Lets get the previous day.
// always make sure to have set your default timezone
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');
// create DateTime instance, holding the current datetime
$datetime = new DateTime();
// create one day interval
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
// modify the DateTime instance
$datetime->sub($interval);
// display the result, or print_r($datetime); for more insight
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d');
/**
* TIP:
* if you dont want to change the default timezone, use
* use the DateTimeZone class instead.
*
* $myTimezone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');
* $datetime->setTimezone($myTimezone);
*
* or just include it inside the constructor
* in this form new DateTime("now", $myTimezone);
*/

Solution 3 - Php
Use
$time = time();
For previous day -
date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,date("n", $time),date("j",$time)- 1 ,date("Y", $time)));
For 2 days ago
date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,date("n", $time),date("j",$time) -2 ,date("Y", $time)));
For Next day -
date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,date("n", $time),date("j",$time)+ 1 ,date("Y", $time)));
For next 2 days
date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,date("n", $time),date("j",$time) +2 ,date("Y", $time)));
Solution 4 - Php
Simply use this
echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime("yesterday"));
echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime("tomorrow"));
Solution 5 - Php
strtotime('-1 day', strtotime($date))
This returns the number of difference in seconds of the given date and the $date.so you are getting wrong result .
Suppose $date is todays date and -1 day means it returns -86400 as the difference and the when you try using date you will get 1969-12-31 Unix timestamp start date.
Solution 6 - Php
it is enough to call it this way:
<a href="home.php?date=<?= date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-1 day')) ?>" class="prev_day" title="Previous Day" ></a>
<a href="home.php?date=<?= date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 day')) ?>" class="next_day" title="Next Day" ></a>
Also see the documentation.
Solution 7 - Php
You could use 'now' as string to get today's/tomorrow's/yesterday's date:
$previousDay = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('now - 1day'));
$toDay = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('now'));
$nextDay = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('now + 1day'));
Solution 8 - Php
Php script -1****its to Next Date
<?php
$currentdate=date('Y-m-d');
$date_arr=explode('-',$currentdate);
$next_date=
Date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,$date_arr[1],$date_arr[2]+1,$date_arr[0]));
echo $next_date;
?>**
**Php script -1****its to Next year**
<?php
$currentdate=date('Y-m-d');
$date_arr=explode('-',$currentdate);
$next_date=
Date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,$date_arr[1],$date_arr[2],$date_arr[0]+1));
echo $next_date;
?>
Solution 9 - Php
just in case if you want next day or previous day from today's date
> date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y")));
just change the "-1" to the "+1" regards, Yosafat
Solution 10 - Php
always make sure to have set your default timezone
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');
create DateTime instance, holding the current datetime
$datetime = new DateTime();
create one day interval
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
modify the DateTime instance
$datetime->sub($interval);
display the result, or print_r($datetime); for more insight
echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d');
TIP:
If you don't want to change the default timezone, use the DateTimeZone class instead.
$myTimezone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');
$datetime->setTimezone($myTimezone);
or just include it inside the constructor in this form new DateTime("now", $myTimezone);
Solution 11 - Php
Very easy with the dateTime() object, too.
$tomorrow = new DateTime('tomorrow');
echo $tomorrow->format("Y-m-d"); // Tomorrow's date
$yesterday = new DateTime('yesterday');
echo $yesterday->format("Y-m-d"); // Yesterday's date
