<?php
$date = new DateTime('now');
echo $date->format('d/m/Y').PHP_EOL; // format: day/month/year
echo $date->format('m-d-Y').PHP_EOL; // format: month-day-year
echo $date->format('Y-m-d').PHP_EOL; // format: year-month-day
// add 3 days to current date and output using format year-day-month
echo $date->setTimestamp( strtotime('+3 days', $date->getTimestamp()) )->format('Y-d-m');
