Retrieving previous months for archives in a list

[phprocky]

I am pretty new to php programming.
Need help in creating a list of previous three months for my archives section.
i,e) if the current month is September 2008, list (array) should contain previous three months(August 2008, July 2008, June 2008).

Thanks in advance...

I think are you want something like this

list($year,$month,$day) = explode('-',date("Y-m-d"));

for($j=1; $j<=3; $j++)
{
$previousMonth = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,date('m')-$j,$day,$year));

$monthArray[$j]['month'] = $previousMonth;

}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($monthArray);
echo "</pre>";

Now your $monthArray contains previous 3 months you can print it.

Hi,
Try this code. This will give the details of previous three months.

$prevMonths = array();
for($count=0; $count<3; $count++) {
$prevMonth = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")-$count, date("d"), date("Y")));
array_push($prevMonths, $prevMonth);
}

var_dump($prevMonths);
