How to add 7 days to current date?

Question

I need to save to db current date & "current date + 7days" values. For this I'm using following function. But how to add 7 days to this.

 Mage::getModel('core/date')->date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Thanks in advance.

Update:

$res = Mage::getModel('rad_inventorypieces/reserve');
$date = new Zend_Date(Mage::getModel('core/date')->timestamp());
$res->setCreatedDate($date);
$date->addDay('7');
$res->setExpiryDate($date);

Answer 1

In OOP style:

$date = new Zend_Date(Mage::getModel('core/date')->timestamp());
$date->addDay('7');
$date->toString('YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'); //Returns representation of date 

Answer 2

Try this :

$date = Mage::getModel('core/date')->date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
echo $date . '<br>';

$nextDate =  Mage::getModel('core/date')->date('Y-m-d h:i:s', strtotime($date." +7 days"));

echo $nextDate . '<br>';

$res=Mage::getModel('rad_inventorypieces/reserve');
$res->setExpiryDate($nextDate);

You can use the underlying Zend methods:

$now = new Zend_Date(Mage::getModel('core/date')->timestamp(), Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);
$now->set(strtotime('+7 days', $now->toString(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP)), Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);
$now = $estimate->toString(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);

This will give you an epoch time output of 7 days from the time the code runs, you can use this in date() or wherever you need to.

here's mine

$Date = Mage::getModel('core/date')->date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($Date. ' + 1 days'));
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($Date. ' + 7 days'));
