date help

[incarnate]

Hi, can someone tell me a simple way to decrement or minus a day from the date() function, that would keep the month and year in mind accordingly.

ex: 2003-04-01 to 2003-03-31

Thanks.

$now = mktime();
echo date("format settings",($now-(60*60*24)));

Try this...

<?
 $stringdate	= "2003-04-01";
 $timestamp	= strtotime($stringdate) - 60*60*24;
 $year		= date("Y", $timestamp);
 $month		= date("m", $timestamp);
 $day		= date("d", $timestamp);
 echo "String date : $stringdate<BR/>\n
Timestamp : $timestamp<BR/>\n
Year : $year<BR/>\n
Month : $month<BR/>\n
Day : $day<BR/>\n
New date : $year-$month-$day<BR/>\n";
?>
