Help with last 7 days

[jbachris]

I am trying to run a query to get the last 7 days in the following format:

<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060523">Tuesday, May 23, 2006</a><br>
<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060522">Monday, May 22, 2006</a><br>
<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060521">Sunday, May 21, 2006</a><br>
<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060520">Saturday, May 20, 2006</a><br>
<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060519">Friday, May 19, 2006</a><br>
<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060518">Thursday, May 18, 2006</a><br>
<a href="roundup.php?news_date=20060517">Wednesday, May 17, 2006</a><br>

Any help?

$today = time();
$i=0;
while ($i<7) {
$older_day = $today - ( $i * 86400 );
$x = date("Ymd",$older_day) ;
$y = date("l, F j, Y",$older_day);
print "<a href=\"roundup.php?news_date=$x\">$y</a><br>\n";
$i++;
}
