date and timestamps

Hey guys.

I need to get the days current date, and then i need to add +7 days to it. How would i go about doing that in PHP?

And also, when storing it in a database, what type should it be? Datetime?

Thanks

$timePlusOneWeek = time() + (3600 * 24 * 7);


And yes, DATETIME would be a good way of storing a date+time.

strtotime('+1 week');
:D

Well, I suppose that works too... ;) (I like mine better though!)
