I'm trying to get a date that is one year from the date I specify.

My code looks like this:

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+one year', $startDate));

It's returning the wrong date. Any ideas why?

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 year'));

$futureDate is one year from now!

$futureDate=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 year', strtotime($startDate)) );

$futureDate is one year from $startDate!
