Timestamp in 5 days from today in at 0 o'clock

Question

I am looking for a simple way to get a timestamp relative to today, but at a specific time.

Example: Right now is 07-01-2020 10:00 a.m. Result: Time stamp of 06.07.2020 0 o'clock

Only that the values of today are varbiale. Is there a good possibility with strtotime()?

You looking for something like this? $dateplusfive = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+5 days')); — Keral Patel, Jul 01 '20 at 07:55
yes but on a specific time. I have found the below solution, perhaps not the best. — muellerelias, Jul 01 '20 at 07:59

$newdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+ 5 days 2 hours',strtotime('today midnight')));```

Why additional 2 hours though? – Keral Patel Jul 01 '20 at 08:14
Also why don't you look at mktime(); function. That would give much finer control on getting the midnight timestamp. – Keral Patel Jul 01 '20 at 08:15
