Thanks James!

You started me off in the right direction. And ... with a few beers less in 
the brain (and a look at php.net and PHP Developers Cookbook) I finally 
found that mktime actually increments dates correctly.
So, given that $month, $day and $year are valid and that we want to add 10 
days to the output we can do:

echo date ("Y-m-d", mktime (0,0,0,$month, $day, $year)) . "<br>";
            for($i=1; $i<=9; $i++) {
              $day++;
              echo date ("Y-m-d", mktime (0,0,0,$month, $day, $year)) . "<br>";
            }

Cheers,
