PHP string date + 1 day equals?

$date = date('d-m-Y', strtotime("+1 day", strtotime("10-12-2011")));
If you're trying to overwrite $date, Aaron's answer works great. But if you need the new day saved into a separate variable as I did, this works:
$date = strtotime('10-12-2011'); // your date
$newDate = date('d-m-Y', strtotime("+1 day", $date)); // day after original date
