Improve this questionI am adding number stored in custom user meta data to current date. Here is my code
$addeddays = get_user_meta($this->order->user_id, 'xxx', true);
$timeBase = date('j.n.Y');
echo date('j.n.Y', strtotime($timeBase, "+ $addeddays days"));
But output is 1.1.1970
What is wrong in code or how to do it with other method? I read question about this but in answers was also my method so I do not know why it is not working.

Reset to default 0your code is not working, because you use strtotime incorrectly... It should be used like this:
int strtotime ( string $time [, int $now ] )
But you pass formatted dated as first param, and another string as second one.
So how should it look like? Like so:
$addeddays = intval( get_user_meta($this->order->user_id, 'xxx', true) );
$timeBase = date('Y-m-d');
echo date('j.n.Y', strtotime( "+ {$addeddays} days", strtotime( $timeBase ) ));
Or a simpler version (since `$timeBase is today:
$addeddays = intval( get_user_meta($this->order->user_id, 'xxx', true) );
echo date( 'j.n.Y', strtotime( "+ {$addeddays} days" ) );
