mktime

[Anon]

I have problem

How do I calculate the following with mktime()

$current_date = date('Y-m-d');

I want to take the $current_date variable and calculate 7 days behind so I can use it in a query.

[crusty_php]

$date = mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-7,date("Y"));
$date_behind=date("Y-m-d",$date);

you don't need the mktime function for this

<?
$seven_days_ago = date ('Y-m-d', time () - 604800);
?>

• 604800 is the number of seconds in 7 days
