How can PHP be used to calculate a specific date in the future based on user input?

To calculate a specific date in the future based on user input in PHP, you can use the `strtotime` function to convert the user input into a timestamp and then use the `date` function to format the desired future date. 

$user_input = $_POST['user_input']; // Assuming user input is received via POST method

$future_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($user_input . ' + 1 week')); // Calculate date 1 week in the future

echo "Future date: " . $future_date;
