How can PHP be used to calculate and display the next event date based on a specific interval from a given start date?

To calculate and display the next event date based on a specific interval from a given start date in PHP, you can use the DateTime class to manipulate dates. First, create a DateTime object for the start date, then use the add() method to add the specific interval (e.g., days, weeks, months) to the start date. Finally, format the resulting date in the desired format using the format() method. 

$start_date = new DateTime('2022-01-01');
$interval = new DateInterval('P7D'); // 7 days interval
$next_event_date = $start_date->add($interval)->format('Y-m-d');

echo "Next event date: " . $next_event_date;
