Show files from a dir

[Cyby]

Hi (its a typical newbie question)

This is not working :-(

<?php
$days = 7
$file = date("Y-m-d");
$file2 = $file - $days
include("data/$file.txt");
?>

I want to show all content of files (like this format 2003-02-20) from a specific directory. But only the files from the last (ex) 7 days.

So when its today 2003-02-20, all content of the files 2003-02-19, 2003-02-18, ... and 2003-02-14 may be visible.

You can't just minus 7 from $file (which = "2003-02-20"). You have to break the date up into three parts... This would work...

$days = 7;

$year = date("Y");
$month = date("m");
$day = date("d");

$day_to_fetch = $day - $days;

include("data\".$year."-".$month."-".$day_to_fetch.".txt");

Now the problem is what if you are only on day 5 of Feb. and you want to go back 7 days? There is no -2 of Feb! You will have to make a couple of arrays... One with the name of each month with how many days in that month and one to accommodate for leap year with a year array. You can do the math from here. This is going to take you some time to put together...
