get crazy with dates

[maxfun]

i would like to calculate the date from now to -7 days. i tried the following:

$currentdate= date("Y-m-d");
$lastweekdate= date_sub("$currentdate",INTERVAL 7 DAYS);

any idea why it doesn`t work (ok, im a rookie)

thanks

hi,
try
<?php
$a_week_ago=date("Y-M-d", time()-72460*60);
?>

Something like date('Y-m-d',strtotime('1 week ago')); perhaps?
