In my PHP code I have a date in my variable "$postedDate".
Now I want to get the date after 7 days, 15 days, one month and 2 months have elapsed.

Which date function should I use?

Output date format should be in US format.

Use strtotime.

$newDate = strtotime('+15 days',$date)

$newDate will now be 15 days after $date. $date is unix time.
