php.net says:
date ( string format [, int timestamp] )
To turn a php timestamp into something that will be recognized by the
mysql DATE type, you might try this:
<?php
$due_date= //however you set up you invoice+14days timestamp
$mysql_date = date("Y-m-d",$due_date);// makes a string like YYYY-MM-DD
?>
The php date() function can form just about any string you want to make
from a date if you've got a timestamp, which you do.
What formate is your original date in? There may be an even simpler way of
doing it.

Hi,
how can I calculate the due date from the date of an invoice and
insert the result into a mysql-database. The daydifference is 14 days.
Actualy I have tried something with mktimes, but I only get the timestamp
of the due date. I have troubles to write that into a dabasefield that
was set to datetype.

And to add to the discussion, why would you want to do such a thing?
Calculate it when retrieving the data. It's similar to storing a person's
age when you have the date of birth.
