you could use explode() function of PHP:
$date = 'MM/DD/YYYY';
$date_a = explode('/', $date);
$mm = $date_a[0];
$dd = $date_a[1];
$yyyy = $date_a[2];
$date = "$mm/".($dd+$n)."/$yyyy";
So here you have your date + something else ...
of course your exaple is smarter since in here I could manage to have 33
days...
You can however use mktime, and I believe the 1 month and 33 days will
result to use as february 2, (2 month + 2 days(1 month is 31 days as
january))
anyway ... explode is I believe what you are asking for.

Subject: [PHP] date maniplations
Hello,
Sorry if I am confused by the date functions in the manual but I am.
Here's what I want to do:
I have a string in the form MM/DD/YYYY. I wish to:
1) convert it to a date
2) add $n days to it
3) convert back to a string in the same format above
I believe I can accomplish [2] and [3] with:
$mytdate = date("m/d/Y",mktime(0,0,0,date("m")
,date("d")+$n,date("Y")));
How do I accomplish step 1?
Can I type cast a string to a date?
Thanks,
Don
