function - Add days to a date in PHP

Question

Is there any php function available where I can add days to a date to make up another date? For example, I have a date in the following format: 27-December-2011

If I add 7 to the above, it should give: 03-January-2012.

Many thanks

Try this

$add_days = 7;
$date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date) + (24*3600*$add_days));
