I tested it in phpFiddle

It works if you specify minutes (Based on this code)

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('2014-12-16 13'.'+2 month'));

You said H:i

so if you use:

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('2014-12-16 13:00'.'+2 month'));//Note the :00

it works for me.

EDIT1:

Without H:i

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('2014-12-16'.'+2 month'));

EDIT2:

o-W

this works a little for me:

$compare_date = date('o-W',strtotime('2014-12-16'.'+2 month'));

EDIT3:

As comment says, get rid of dot

$compare_date = date('o-W',strtotime('2014-12-16 +2 month'));

and if we have date('o-W') how we can combine it with strtotime? – Yra Yra Dec 17 '14 at 14:38

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('2014-12-16 13:00 +2 month')); get rid of the . – Jelle Keizer Dec 17 '14 at 14:40
no-no,without H:i it's easy – Yra Yra Dec 17 '14 at 14:40
date('...',strtotime('o-W','...')) i asked about it – Yra Yra Dec 17 '14 at 14:41
the H:i is only for the date output this would work as well date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('2014-12-16 +2 month')); strtotime just needs time to be written out fully to be working – Jelle Keizer Dec 17 '14 at 14:43
@YraYra my edit works a little on phpFiddle, is the output the desired one? O_o – Marco Mura Dec 17 '14 at 14:45
@YraYra i suppose not, you do have a date in format o-W right? – Marco Mura Dec 17 '14 at 14:46
@JelleKeizer Removed the useless dot :) – Marco Mura Dec 17 '14 at 15:20

You're using strtotime wrong. When using relative time (+2 month) you should provide a timestamp as second parameter (current timestamp is the default value).

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('+2 month', strtotime('2014-12-16 13:00')));

Have you tried

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d H',strtotime('2014-12-16 13'.'+2 month'));

Instead of:

$compare_date = date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime('2014-12-16 13'.'+2 month'));

Beware with using +month notice the behavior below if the month after has less days

echo date( "Y-m-d", strtotime( "2009-01-31 +1 month" ) ); // PHP:  2009-03-03
echo date( "Y-m-d", strtotime( "2009-01-31 +2 month" ) ); // PHP:  2009-03-31
