add 6 months to now()

this is really simple I know but I can not seem to find any thread on this or how to do it.

I would like to know how to add 6 months to today's date as an expiration of an account when someone signs up in my MySql database.

Where i am getting stuck is crossing over a new year or a month. THought there might be some function of formula where you could add maybe 180 days to now()
THanks for any idea's or threads...

RE: add 6 months to now()

This is much easier to do in PHP and then convert it in your MySQL query using something like FROM_UNIXTIME():

php Code:

Original - php Code
$t = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m')+6, date('d), date('Y')); mysql_query("INSERT INTO table_name (expiration_date) VALUES (FROM_UNIXTIME('".$t."'))");

 
$t = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m')+6, date('d), date('Y'));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table_name (expiration_date) VALUES (FROM_UNIXTIME('".$t."'))");
