calculating some dates

roach

Hello

How would you calculate a date from 1 day before, and if it is the first day of the month it would automatically know to roll back one month..
Im having some trouble with this =|
I get the 1 day ago working, but when its ..well heres an example:

Current date: 12-01-02
1 day ago: 12-30-02 (should be 11-30-02)

See thats whats happening? Someone know what todo?

thanks

<?
$tomorrow  = mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")+1,date("Y"));
print "tomorrow: ". date("m.d.y", $tomorrow) . "<BR>\n";

$yesterday  = mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y"));
print "yesterday: ". date("m.d.y", $yesterday) . "<BR>\n";

$specificday = mktime (0,0,0,12,1-1,2002);
print "secificday: ". date("m.d.y", $specificday) . "<BR>\n";
