Hey

I want the data of x dags ago (26 days).
How do I do this? pseudo: $currentdate = date("Y-m-d") - 26;

Any thoughts?

Thx

Two that immediately come to mind:

Code:
$option_one = strtotime("-26 days");

$option_two = time() - 60 * 60 * 24 * 26

That'll give you the timestamp, and then use another function (date()) to format it.

Hi,
one way to achieve this is by setting the second argument of the date() function, which must be some unix timestamp:

Code:
$olddate = time() - (26 * 86400);

$currentdate = date("Y-m-d", $olddate);

edit: Inparo was faster then me Smile
