If they are unix timestamps and seconds yes. If not, you need to convert
them into such first. This is what strtotime does, and then using date
again reverses it.

You can do this:
$time0 = time(); // get a unix timestamp
$interval = 60*60*24; // one day in seconds.
$time0 += $interval; // add an interval to timestamp
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $time0); // tomorrow

But this is good just for timestamps. Just remeber, working with
timestamps is dreadful when it comes to daylight saving, leap years and
other temporal oddities.
