I think it would be easier to ask the user to enter his reminder in the
standard date format of yyyy-mm-dd and use a JavaScript date picker box
to prompt for it. Anyway, you could do something like this:
$reminderStamp = strtotime("+{$addMonths} months",time());
$reminderStamp = strtoTime("+{$addDays} days",$reminderStamp);
$date = date("Y-m-d",$reminderStamp);
$date should have a string like yyyy-mm-dd that is $addMonths and
$addDays into the future. I didn't test this.
