PHP: Calculating past and future dates

 || Code WIth Tanveer

To find out what the date was 5 days ago, you can subtract 5 days from the current date. If you're using a programming language, you can typically do this by working with date and time functions. Here's an example using php:

<?php

  $days_ago = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d") - 5, date("Y")));

  ?>

For example: What was 5 days prior to 2008-12-02?

   

<?php

      $days_ago = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-5 days', strtotime('2008-12-02')));

    ?>
