1. $showdate = date("Y-m-d");

   prints today's date. I want it to show yesterday's date. What can i do?

   $showdate = date("Y-m-d-1");

   doesn't seem to work.

2. what does \n call? i know \n prints a new line. i wanna know what they call so that i can find out what "tab" is.

thank you.

Hi, to get yesterday or another defined day you can also use the strtotime();
#1
<?
$yesterday = strtotime("-1 day");
$yesterday = getdate($yesterday);
echo $yesterday[mday];
?>

that's easier if you want to get a day in 3 weeks you can put it in the strtotime("+3 week");
