Need simple PHP date output..

[POR-15 Depot]

I want to put a line of code in one of my php pages that shows a date
2 days ahead.. Such as


<Current date is 3-5-2004 >

Sale Price Expires 3-7-2004

What is the code to do this ?

Apache/PHP4 etc etc

Thanks

So you want it to take todays date, add 2 days to it and output it?

Yes

Hi Rustbullet,

This code should do what you want {Tested but not opitimzed}:

$later =mktime (0,0,0,date ("m" ) , date ("d" )+ 2 ,date ("Y" ));

$later = date ("m-d-y" , $later);

echo "$later";

See <www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php> for all your date formatting options.

I hope this helps,

Bob

Ok, this isn't going to be as easy as I thought. I'm not a coder.. I just try and fail 20-30 times till I get it right... Here is the line of code were it needs to be inserted..

if ($new_price = tep_get_products_special_price($product_info_value s['products_id'])) {
$products_price = '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($product_info_values['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_
info_values['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</s> <span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($new_price, t
ep_get_tax_rate($product_info_values['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>';

Suggestions on how to put the "Date" under the price in Red ?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Your question is too dangerous to answer (at least for me) .

This looks like a production server & I wouldn't want to make a mess of it based on a post of a snippet of the source code.

Maybe you can setup a test page & play around using the date code in that.

Good Luck,

Bob

Hey ya gotta play with what ya got
I looked in to the code of the other pages and found parts of what I needed and managed to get it working. The code posted pointed me in the right direction, was all I needed.

Thanks again..
