Date Issues

[rowf33]

I am wishing to add a page to our internal website that will show overdue accounts.

I want to show today's date and then based off today's date show days in advance

ie - Today's date is 2012-04-03

3days: 2012-04-06
7days: 2012-04-10
30days: 2012-05-03
90days: 2012-07-02

I can't figure out how to add days?!?!?!

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

What sort of server side scripting do you have available? PHP?

The website was built with Joomla, and we do have PHP scripting but it is a very basic website

<h4>Days Calculator for the Date:
<script type="text/javascript">//![CDATA[
var dateselect = new Date()
document.write(year+ "/"+ month +"/" + day)
// ]]></script>
</h4>
<table id="datetable" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="headerrow" style="text-align: center;">3 day</td>
<td id="headerrow" style="text-align: center;">7 day</td>
<td id="headerrow" style="text-align: center;">30 day</td>
<td id="headerrow" style="text-align: center;">90 day</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
document.write(dateselect+3);
// ]]></script>
</td>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
document.write(dateselect+7);
// ]]></script>
</td>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
document.write(dateselect+30);
// ]]></script>
</td>

1) Either don't do this with JavaScript or do the whole thing with JavaScript. Vast numbers of users don't use JavaScript and they'll be thinking that you're an idiot when they see the headings but not the dates.

2) The CDATA designations only go with XHTML but you should never use document.write with XHTML.

3) You should not be using TABLES for layout.

<?php

    define ('DATE_FORMAT', 'Y-m-d');
    
    foreach (array (3, 7, 30, 90) as $days) echo "<div>$days days: ", date (DATE_FORMAT, strtotime ("+ $days days")), "</div>\n";

?>
