# date functions?

 * I want to post a whole bunch of posts, one per week. So I’ve added a special 
   postweek.php and a corresponding edit-formweek.php to the admin menu.
 * edit-formweek chooses the default date using this code:
    `$max_date = ($wpdb-
   >get_var("SELECT MAX(post_date) FROM $wpdb->posts"));`
 * Which gives me the date of the last post. What I want it to default to, however,
   is the last post plus seven days.
 * Are there any date functions that will do this?

 * function rrh_add_days ($date, $days){
 *  $days_adj = strtotime($date) + $days * 3600 * 24;
    $date = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’,
   $days_adj); return $date; }
