Adding a number of days to a calendaristic date

Many times it is needed to add a number of days to a date (e.g. to determine the expiration date for a link). To do this, you may use the following php code:

$days_to_add = 30;
$current_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); //get the current date
$timeStmp = strtotime($current_date) + $days_to_add * 24 * 60 * 60; //generate a timestamp for the new date
$final_date = gmdate ('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timeStmp); //obtain the final date

That should be all.
